As far as I can tell, Mullins played a pretty flawless game positionally. He didn’t see a lot of the ball as we’ve seen Bews do 100’s of times. There was one push in the back in a marking contest 65m out, and he missed Holmes on a chip kick that could’ve been costly. That was the sum of his mistakes.
None of those goals in Freo’s run were on Mullins.
Guthrie was on Reid and Mullins was 50m away on Frederick for the first.
The second had nothing to do with Mullins either. It was a fast break where Henry was caught one on one with Reid in an impossible situation. Mullins was further up the ground forming a wall a kick behind play. The fast break broke through too quickly for anybody to get back. He did well to get close thanks to his speed.
The 3rd Mullin was not to blame. He was glued to Reid but handed him off to O’Sullivan and zoned off (the correct play). The ball was kicked over Mullin, O’Sullivan spilled it for a goal line goal.
The 4th was not Mullins fault. He was tight to Reid but had to leave him to cover a loose man with ball in hand 15m out from goal.
Crazy to pot Mullin’s positioning. He needs to find more of the ball but he did not else much wrong.
