I’ve watched both games and the tigers mids used the ball much better than Carlton so forgetting stats and just watching the game then the tigers mids and just importantly the backs were better. Same last night with the pies. Mids and backs will still get plenty of the ball if they get beaten. Forwards have no hope if the mids and backs get beaten.People see what they want to see.
The Tiges got smashed possession wise losing both the contested and uncontested possession counts, broke even on the centre clearances but lost the stoppages but won comfortably mainly because of their relentless pressure on the ball carrier across the whole ground (52 to tackles to 23) coupled with an incredible 80% disposal efficiency.
It wasn't just the midfield - all over the ground the Doggies couldn't get the ball and when they did they were forced into shoddy disposal.
