Thank you.
I was going to say the same thing. Plowman always gets the short straw and covers for blokes. That's why he polls well in the best and fairest, because he does team things and puts amaretto on his back in the process...
But continues to do them.

Sure Jones might be playing to instruction...(I doubt it because being 25m out from the contest is in no man's land. Can't tackle players coming out of the contest because he's too far away.....but he's too close so the ball can still be kicked over his head.)
But...even if he is playing to instruction...he needs to be smart enough to know the risk/reward result of his positioning.
If it comes on, we get the turnover, great...but chance of us getting a turnover from THAT position is highly unlikely as I mentioned before.
If it doesn't come off, then we pay the ultimate price more often than not...a goal. So he's got to play the %s.
If that was plowman in that position, you can bet your butt he'd run back to cover.
