End of story.Ffs, there are 3 other blokes wearing navy blue in the centre and it's pretty clear to most that our midfield failed to turn up. I've already proven that pittonet was better than his opponent (the opposite of what you suggested....2 weeks in a row...but no comment on that i see) and now you take aim at him again.
TDK has to come in even if he is not fully match fit. Pit has no clue at all as to how to tap the ball to a bloke wearing a blue jumper. No clue at all. We were smashed -16 centre clearances against a 2 game ruckman - can you imagine what the best ruckman in the comp will do to our bloke. Game over.
Get a clue.
The reason the dogs dominated the midfield was because....
a) their midfield is better than ours
b) their midfield turned up
c) despite getting our hand on the ball first and despite getting it to our advantage more than the opposition our midfielder stunk it up, not because of our ruck.
You wanna take aim at some players....look at cripps and Williams. Co.pare their numbers against the opposition.
BTW, last year pittonet vs gawn....
Pittonet had the same hit outs to advantage as gawn did. Less overall hitouts. So he had a higher conversion rate of hitouts to advantage.
Actually had a slightly higher ruck contest to advantage rate too.
(That means he was more likely to win a ruck duel to advantage than gawn was.)
So keep posting your hate and mistruths.
I'll keep posting stats.
Fwiw....
