He'll get credit for that and he'll get votes, but it burns opportunities, by the time he's fixed things the opposition are set and we can't score.
In recent weeks he has defended well, but his ball use has become Boweresque, the fans need to lay off the Whoosh as it's gone to his head.
Players 5m away from the nearest opponent(or anybody) dropping chest marks, sure they clean it up but the wasted seconds are terminal.
Blokes in unhindered clear space tripping over the footy, nobody in the vicinity, pick the fecking thing up before anything else!
was thinking, during the game, that saad doesnt get off the chain like he used to. isnt taking on defenders and isnt trying to pierce the oppo with his kicks. on the other side, yes, he was uncharacteristically sloppy
the number of fumbles and dropped easy marks, esp in defense, really stood out. maybe just one of those nights. it is catching once it starts. it both cost goals to them, as well as putting a halt to a scoring chain for us
