The Defence

[kruddler]

110% agree. When you watch the actual game like you and I obviously did there is no doubting we are crying out for a ruckman who actually knows how to ruck and not just tap it forward blindly. Even against as you say a third backup ruckman who played 2 games he still at times when he had a clear unopposed tap would just hit it forward. Numb nuts.

You imbicile.

Perhaps YOU should watch the game again. He is saying that Pittonets 'go-to' is to tap it forward.
At the very first bounce, we didn't have anyone forward to tap it too. That is a midfield set up problem.
So Pittonet attempted to tap it down to to his right side, where Cuningham and Cripps had the space between them covered. Despite getting his body taken out and falling flat on his back, Pittonet still got the hitout to the spot were it was the most benificial to the way our mids had set up.
However, Cripps failed to pick the ball up off the ground, and the bulldogs swooped in and got the clearance.

What hitman is saying, and its what i was saying, Pittonet was NOT the problem, but our midfield was the problem. We set up in a way that took away one of Pittonets strengths, that is hitting it forward.

You have been on his back peddling BS like the above, the facts are there for all to see.

Go watch the first bounce again, and reread Hitmans post.
