Today was one of Honeys best games. Durdin and Motlop were far from their best.
However....
Honey - 14 touches, 14 pressure acts, 1 tackle, 83m gained, 2 I50's, 1.1
Durdin - 6 touches, 14 pressure acts, 3 tackles, 147m gained, 1 I50's, 1.0
Motlop - 5 touches, 13 pressure acts, 2 tackles, 3m gained, 0 I50's, 0.0
Small forwards are required to bring pressure.....and they are all doing that. I thought H had an outstanding game but didnt kick straight. He was there amongst it when the heat was on... Durdin and Motlop not so much. They are young and not having a go at them per se but Honey gets to contests when the heat is on and thats the point
For comparison, here is the same stats for last week against Cats...
Honey - sub
Durdin - 9 touches, 10 pressure acts, 0 tackles, 112m gained, 2 I50's, 0.0
Motlop - 11 touches, 22 pressure acts, 5 tackles, 53m gained, 1 I50's, 1.0
and the week before against Eagles....
Honey - 4 touches, 10 pressure acts, 1 tackle, 1m gained, 2 I50's, 0.0
Durdin - 10 touches, 12 pressure acts, 5 tackles, 206m gained, 1 I50's, 2.1
Motlop - 11 touches, 13 pressure acts, 2 tackles, 85m gained, 0 I50's, 0.1
Over the last 3 games(or 2 for Honey), averages are as follows....
Honey - 9 touches, 12 pressure acts, 1 tackle, 42m gained, 2 I50's, 0.5-0.5
Durdin - 8.3 touches, 12 pressure acts, 2.7 tackles, 155m gained, 1.3 I50's, 1.0-0.3
Motlop - 9 touches, 16 pressure acts, 3 tackles, 47m gained, 0.3 I50's, 0.3-0.3
So tell me, why is Honey so good, but the rest of our small forwards so bad?
Stats are garbage if not measured accordingly when the heat is on when players go missing., I thought H had an outstanding game but didnt kick straight. He was there amongst it when the heat was on... Durdin and Motlop not so much. They are young and not having a go at them per se but Honey gets to contests when the heat is on and thats the point
