AFL Rd 3 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn

[tonyo]

Yet Vossy was full of praise for Plowman's efforts when he was subbed into the game.  Besides, our defence is dramatically different this season and the days of Plowman and others playing back shoulder are gone.

I feel a bit for Plowman - he's been stuck in 1 on 1s when the ball has been coming in at a million miles per hour, which is a defender's nightmare.  Can you imagine spending every week going toe to toe with a Charlie Cameron, Kysiah Pickett or Shai Bolton in an open 50 footrace, or Bontempelli/Dusty in a one on one marking duel?

Hopefully, the increased emphasis on upfield defending will make life more manageable for all of our defenders, Plowman included.
