They have also been on the wrong end of some appalling umpiring decisions!
I reckon our backline has been a strength all season even though we haven’t had a settled line up. All of the defenders have been guilty of telling errors - not just Marchbank and Plowman - but, as you suggest, many of those errors were the product of poor play/execution up the ground.
