Yeah I'm reminded of a play on the wing where Kennedy smashed into a Port body and the ball spilled to our advantage which led to a goal or a shot at goal, can't remember which, but I couldn't help thinking we need to see more of that. The opposition is doing that to us all the time.Mitch McGovern on 3AW
On the last month of footy. Yeh, we reckon it’s our contested work both inside and out. Whether we absorb it or bring it, it’s just not where we want it to be.
I think most of us see this. The question is why and why for so long?
Yeah with our current system it's been basically TDK or Cripps or bust as far as winning genuine good clearances.One of my biggest takeaways from this game is that De Koning's incredible clearance work has been masking a truly inept midfield setup this season.
Some of our best wins were off the back of TDK getting rolling at the centre clearances and just forcing the ball forward at will. When it's left to the actual midfielders, we look incredibly basic and come up very very short.
