Great efforts from BigH and Charlie in consecutive years, congratulations.
Yet our forward setup is an obvious problem, I get that ball use entering our F50 is also a problem, but regardless we generated 50% more I50s than the Filth and was 25% worse at creating a scoring opportunity.
That's wasted effort, which means turnovers, and we don't have a team with enough run in it's tank to tolerate that sort of poor efficiency in the F50. That is a deadly combination, Mids and HBFs stop trying to hit high value risky targets when the chance of success is so low, because they are the ones that get hurt going the other way.
It's no good saying Charlie and BigH suffer from poor F50 entries, because outside of Cripps( 10 ) and Doc( 8 ) it was Charlie( 7 ) with the next most I50 attempts. As for Disposal Efficiency, Charlie was 2nd worst on the list on the day, the only bloke worse was Newnes and he didn't get a stat because he never got on the ground! It's a bit laughable to claim we need Charlie in the Mid rotation! Charlie is a marking target with terrific aerobic capcity.
