    I'm surprised Keath has such a high loss rate, I thought he had been fairly solid 1v1 this season. I guess not all 1v1s are created equal though. There are those that should be fairly easily spoiled and then there are those where the kick is to advantage and gives the defender little chance.

    Williams is less surprising. He is solid in the air when intercepting, but defending isn't his go.
    Its all relative. He is our best 1 on 1 defender (at a guess) so by default we rate him!

    Re: Football Analysis

    Is it considered a 1 on 1 contest when you're 10-20 metres in front of your direct opponent, and watch the ball sail over your head for an easy mark?

    Asking for a friend.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Funnily enough I just looked up Cordy's loss rate this season - an excellent 17.6% (3 from 17). A big improvement on his career average.

    Keath has lost 9 from 24.
    Williams 9 from 15.
    Wood 3 from 13.
    Gardner 5 from 11.

    The “over 40 metre kick to the other team counts as an effective disposal” loophole for key defenders.

    Surely fatigue played a big part

    Re: Football Analysis

    Good analysis that confirms what I saw on the night. Whilst everybody gets hung up on the ruck situation and nobody (including Bevo) is happy with things at the moment, it wasn't why we lost.

    I get what you are saying but is there an element of the fact that we are entering games each week with one less midfield rotation because we are running Dunks in the ruck and therefore into the ground?

    This time last year he was a real force for us with our midfield rotations, he not the same player now because of the way we are using him

    And we tried to make him a forward last year from memory ? Does Bevo just not rate him as a mid ?

    I don't think it's that. We tried for the first 5 games of last season to play him mainly as a forward but once he moved into his more natural midfield role his performances and that of the clubs improved as well.

    Dunkley is going to answer whatever challenge is thrown at him but this one appears to be a big ask

    There is only so much midfield time to go around (unless You play Dunkley as a ruck/mid hybrid as we are currently doing, but that's a whole different conversation). This year Dunk's midfield minutes have largely been taken up by Libba and Bailey Smith, as compared to last year and it's not like they have been poor. Josh's effectiveness in the midfield is clearly diminished by playing in the ruck, but is that a net gain or loss for the team - I don't know.

    We would love to see 2019 Dunkley back again but to be fair he wasn't present early in the season before injury and ruck work either.
