I was looking at some stats of our recent win against North Adelaide and of course what stood out was Kane Mitchell's numbers. It's the latest in a series of performances by our Magpies midfielders; I recall Sam Gray got some big numbers too before he was promoted to the AFL team.
So anyway what I'm asking is because I can't see the games for myself, is.. do our Magpies midfielders get an 'easy' ride because our Magpies ruckmen in Redden and Frampton and perhaps also Harvey are providing them with first class ruckwork? It's not like we're fielding a top-up player in the ruck like we have to do for some other positions.
It's just it seems to me to be a big contrast with the struggle street the Power midfield is on with Lobbe getting his arse spanked each week.
