It's the only time that the 'statue rule' does not come into effect or have an influence...Our midfield is stacked for body and strength. Taranto, Hopper, Dusty, Prestia and Graham but none possess breakaway speed.
Shai does but coach wants to play him more forward. I think that's a bad move. Dow and Baker do have breakaway speed
Now watching the dees Salem played midfield..
Also, Hayden Young of Freo generally plays back, played midfield had 26 possies and kicked two goals. Has pace to burn.
Most teams are loading up with pace in the midfield we seemed to have gone the other way with Shai going out.
Look at Kozy Pickett, he's so dangerous in centre bounces due to his crazy getaway speed. Bolton has been and can continue to be that player for us. Just hope Yze and the coaches see that we looked to one paced v pies.
Jack Crisp of the pies used to play back nowadays in the midfield, has explosive pace.
The center square ball up...
No influence whatsoever...
Once that footy is bounced...
Those chosen players allowed to play in the center square have first dibs at the footy...
The fastest players in/at the center square bounce have the greatest influence on the progression of the game...
