So much this. He's had a poor year but really straightened us up last night through the middle as a link man. Played a role in the win, even if it wasn't kicking goals.Watch the game again. Black's ability to take contested marks and move the ball intelligently forward was critical, especially in the second half. It was like he played more as a tall wingman or centre for a lot of the time and did well between the 50s, leaving space forward for others to mark and crumb goals. If he creates scoring opportunities, he doesn't need to be the one kicking them.
