The thing that annoyed me with Nelson is that he can't just get tackled professionally. Hurn is as strong as Darling and cna break tackles when needed but he knows how to be tackled when he's outnumbered without being one holding the ball. Dugan does it too, just delay your grab of the ball, but when you grab it turn side on, let your arms get wrapped up and fall on top of the ball.

There's a difference between Yeo/Shuey attempting to break tackles through the middle compared to being in defence, you need to be quite certain of success and it needs to be a one on one, if there's a second opposition player there don't try break tackle number one properly.

I wouldn't be upset if he stayed though, his body of work has been really good. Duggan normally would be fitter and stronger (especially in the air), but off injuries I'm not so sure.
 
If we play Geelong you would think Petch and Cameron come into strong consideration against a very slow Geelong side.
You could see a bunch of pacy smalls really hurt Geelong.

Geelong defend better against Taller types, but quick smalls struggle against.
I reckon we’re good with Rioli, Ryan & Cripps

Also 4 turnovers from 10 touches isn't a great return. Kicking as long as you can isn't always the best way to kick to the guys on the wing, there's still an advantageous position to place the ball.

Still though, Duggan's not much better by foot. He can be, but not consistently enough to consider him a good kick.
 
On masten. Read this.




Then work out who is actually a wingman at the club. Then think whether they can take his spot.

For extra points re watch the game and keep an eye out for masten. Always filling the spot to deny switches or create room to switch when we have the ball.

Im not a fan but sheeeyit theres no way hes getting dropped on that

Well I think we all know now that hutchings plays next week and who he goes to. He was huge and single handedly gave the cats a sniff
