Midfield Pressure

[skeptic]

Possessions
Bontempelli - 34 (season high)
Macrae - 31
Liberatore - 31
Dale - 30
Smith - 29
Treloar - 25 (a down night)

Now I know the Doggies midfielders generally rack up numbers but... this isn’t a tonight phenomenon.

Week after week, opposition mids rack them against... not just based on results, I’ve made a small fortune betting on above average numbers for opposition mids

It’s a real indictment on our midfielders ability to win the ball but more so, actually disrupting opposition mids, stopping them from getting the ball, tackling... heck do we even have a tagger?

Against Brisbane,
Neale got 37
McCluggage 33 (season high)
Lyons 29 (has been down this year)
Berry 25 (second highest for the year)

You get my point.

We’re really missing some grunt and defensive running. Really need some players that can stick some tackles too. Hope to see Bytel again soon

[Yorkeys]

Jones is a bust

Will selectors accept that

Mav laid more tackles in his last throes

[shanegrambeau]

Ratts openly bagged Jones in the presser

Our Captain was where the fish was rotting from last night.

Looked disinterested and slow.

Looked disinterested.

Looked disinterested.

Can't get my head around that.
