Will aid weitering to get back to chopping the play off because our opposition stopped him by blocking his run at the ball drop and the umps let it go all day.We missed McGovern badly, Marchbank came in the from cold, but he's not the same aggressive ball user that McGovern is, we have very few that can cut those lines.
[member=105]Thryleon[/member] Watching the replay, we get first hands on the ball many many times and basically hand the footy over, this is where stats and disposals counts can be misleading. You said composure or the lack of it, it really showed.
You might be onto something about the health or mindset, I have to wonder if a few players have started to focus on finals, and the injuries and events last week might have scared a few. They have gone a bit "safe", and it's become costly!
