The emergence of Setterfield should help but we desperately need another inside mid and a mindset focused on looking after teammates with blocks, shepherds and team-oriented stuff generally.
When Ed was moved on to Bontompelli, Liberatore immediately began bumping and blocking Ed, making his task harder and life easier for the Bont. The last time I saw one of our players do that it was the Chief dealing with Judd’s tagger.
I think so too. Those kids have had to be front and centre of our midfield right from the start and they weren't ready for it. It's enormous pressure for young kids. Can't all be Sam Walsh's unfortunately. That's where being down the bottom doesn't help couldn't get those couple of topline 24-27yos to be the big bodies and take the pressure off the young players. Plenty of depth at both ends of the ground but not yet in the guts. They'll all be good players, be even better players with big bodied help where they can get on the outside and run.
