Nor is our forward pressure.
May as well play a glacial full forward than try use run. It's not a strength of ours
I think our vision is fine, but we've b0rked up so many disposals we now have lost confidence, we aren't talking about threading the needle, we have blokes who can't hit a wide open 200cm team-mate from 20m, so we go the long pointless kick to nobody in particular to earn a Dangflog style DE% type stat. Then when the opposition spoil and clear the ball we blame the forwards for a turnover.
Our problem has never been winning clearances, forcing turnovers or making intercepts, were up there with most other clubs if not better than them, our problem is 100% the inability to hit targets consistently. Fans look at stats and think our DE=66% is OK, but that is 2 handballs and a turnover.
