Grant Thomas was a genius!

He was wrong about something else though… Ruckmen are important 12 hit outs to 43.

Game was right there. No doubt about it.

agree. and its not just the actual ruck taps.
macca plays ruck and allows blake to go back. this is crucial especially when fisher is out.
so macca plays we win. end of story.

In big games, when its tight and composure is needed......Milne on many occasions lets us down. When Roo and others are up and about and we are putting sides to the sword........Milne chimes in.

Need to be realistic - Milnes been a tremedous player but he continues to win the ball and simply stuff the opportunity up time and again through lack of poise....you take the good and bad with milney....but for all his experience that "bee in a bottle: approach aint gonna change.

Milne and Schnieder steal from each other and limit the others output as did Guerra. With Saad along side him I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't being directed to draw his man away from goal so Saad with the lesser of the small defenders gets a chance to do damage. If there are limited crumbs and they have to share the output goes down. He also gets his goals doing the daring stuff so telling him to slow down and settle doesn't work either.
