I noticed that apart from Pendlebury, our midfielders stand flat footed at ruck contests. It could be possible that they don’t actually know how it works. When was the last time Treloar actually roved the ball from either a tap out or off a pack?Did anyone notice the amount of times Grundy from a ruck contest around the ground dropped the ball into spots where none of our onballers were even close to. He was winning clearly and it just seemed they weren’t switched on.
Given the midfielders we have, including those players that can rotate in, I’m wondering if we should be reviewing the midfield coach’s position. It seems Longmuir is gone whether it be as coach of Freo or an assistant at Carlton. We need to see what it would take to get someone like Mitchell from Hawthorn to run the midfield.
