spot on.I just don't get the acrimony here.
If you're all honest enough about when your teams have played the eagirls, at some stage you will be cursing your own inside mids for not being able to prise the ball away from stoppages because that bloody Priddis keeps getting hold of it.... time and time again and then shuffling it out to their downhill skiers like Gaff and Masten. This perception that he just roams around doing little more than accumulating awful disposal efficiency is without basis in recent years.
FFS! Credit where it is due. He is a clearance machine and without him they would barely ever get the pill out of the middle despite the rucks they have.
Most opposition teams don't tag him - not because they don't realise his ability to get the ball and move it on to a teammate but more so it is recognised that those previously mentioned outside players are a whole lot easier to round up when the pressure goes on.
Well done Priddis
i'm stoked for Priddis, tbh. seems like a real good bloke.
