So the stats are just a part of the story.
It will be interesting to see who, if any, does go out.
If Hewett doesn't come up, it may be no change.
His 13 disposals this week was =most from that group....yet people are criticising his output.
If his 2 behinds ended up being 2 goals, he'd get in the votes!
Stats are part of it.
Other part is peoples perception.....thats what i'm questioning....their perception.
In terms of output....it was comparable to the other 2 rucks (obviously hitouts/clearances aside).
In terms of output....it was comparable to 3 other forwards.
I'm not saying he has been in great form. I'm not saying he is above scrutiny. I'm not saying that its impossible for him to be dropped.
I just think the criticism towards him seems a little bit over the top.
He would probably be one of the front runners to be dropped this week.....and i think it'll be a mistake if he does....but it shouldn't matter against GWS (i hope)
Last time we dropped Jack, we got thumped, we lacked heart and everyone said it was a mistake and he should never be dropped again. Maybe i'm the only one that remembers that.
