Carrying both is hurting our running game.I think it's just one tall too many in the conditions, it sort of worked earlier in the season when BigH was on a roll, roving stoppages like an onballer, yet we still had some very close escapes that SoJ boosters are happier to ignore us falling across the line after being almost overrun.
If Jack was a little quicker/more agile, we may be more likely to cover for him with the other 2.
But that was also in suitable conditions, a dry fast MCG. Last game was greasy conditions not suited to carrying so many talls, and the Crows were able to dictate control over the whole playing surface, our MC need to be smarter and not formulaic, leave the formulaic emotive rubbish to the fans.
"Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck ....... Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck"
