One of the things that seemed to happen against GCSs is Walters did play more forward, but for now I'm not sure we can afford that without either another mid in, or we need a replacement small forward and Walters more mid.
The bench. Only 69% TOG again
Agree with this except Darcy who had a compression bandage on his leg and didn’t train during the week struggled. Was labouring and I saw him wince in pain a number of times and look to the bench.
We had 4 tall forwards! Were all of them deep i50 were they? 46 inside 50s. How many were to a tall target? With 4 talls you'd expect some of those to be playing half forward, and not all deep. They smashed us across half back with intercepts because we kept kicking to small players forward of centre.
Did we? I might have to check but my perception, and Dal Santo mentioned it as well, was that we pushed our winger back in a defensive position - I don't think that was from the opening bounce. So Tucker was playing on ball and then leaving his mid to drop back to defence? That makes no sense. Either way, point still stands, we played too defensively. Need to hold better structure, take the risk and then attack aggressively knowing we've got numbers down field to make contests without massive outnumbers. Not sure why we expected we'd win 1v3 or 1v2 contests.
Those shitty little dribble kicks will alone get him dropped.
