I understand Pittonet and Levi struggling, they aren't blessed with pace. Oddly, I though for their size the extra pace and run would have suited Jones and Big H, but the very opposite is occurring. Last night I though Mihocek, Roughead and Cox looked far better on the repeat efforts than our KPPs, Moore was at another level altogether!
I thought Weitering showed he is capable of the next level, he was all over the ground and looked as comfortable as can be expected. But he lacked support last night, the kid can't be everywhere and players like Jones and Plowman having Barry Crockers and fumbling around him can kill confidence. Plowman improved late, but too late, I think he's wasted on players his own size because he plays quite tall and is best when intercepting.
I can't say we've got any KPPs that are great in the one on one stuff at the moment, I feel under the new rules this is exactly what we and all teams need, because that contested one on one mark when you are under the pump is the circuit breaker. Instead we have midgets manhandling our monsters.
Think you’re right LP
Pitt, Levi, Jones & Plow were badly exposed last night, but so too were all mids ex Walsh
Increasingly as the need to maintain and shift structure increases, those players with game sense/intelligence will be more important - Jones, Levi and to lesser extent Plow lack this.
