Good pick up. I'd say it's been a bigger issue than winning hard footy at stoppages (the more talked about problem). Giving opposition their spread/outside game and not really having ours.Thought this was interesting - difference between last year and this year is pretty stark. Really shows we lost that outside fast run and gun game
