I hated his game last week and his attitude post match topped it off but thought he was one of our bets in Round 1I also thought he was one of our best against the Tiggers and I think he is a good player.
He again this week played a solid game on a very dangerous opponent.
When i saw him go to Walters I like many i guess thought omg this could get ugly fast but not this week. Walters first goal was from a soft free with his usual staging working and I think he only kicked one other so our man takes the points IMO.
Also he intercepted very well this week and foot skills were clean. Fair is fair he cops it hard when he fails he should receive the praise when he has a game like today.
He isn't super-tall or super-fast or super-anything but he is consistently given jobs that test his capabilities and he is too often exposed when played in the last line of defence because he tends to panic and grab. Whenever he gets a bit further up the ground he looks poised and can contribute offensively.
Maybe Oscar McD could be used in defence to allow Plowman to play more at HB and shift SPS out of defence.
