We are 3rd last in inside 50 tackles Harry yes Harry is our leader with 6 .
Our small forwards as a group bar a couple of exceptions are seriously letting us down here .
Murph now a permanent forward in 5 games has a paltry 1 .
2/3 of our total of 41 are from our talls Harry Cas and Jack and mids Crippa Walsh and Ed .
Interestingly West Coast have less but given their tall forwards actually lead up the ground and most likely mark more often and they have real quality crumbers it isnt such an issue for them .
Its a real issue for us imo .
This goes directly to the heart of Teague's game plan which requires forward half pressure. Beggers belief that he plays Murphy at all and certainly adds weight that the guy is being gifted 300. Either that or Teague doesn't believe in his own plan.
If he's serious about forward half pressure then Fogarty for one should be stationed their permanently until at least one of Fish or Martin get back.
Not surprised the forward half actually looks better with JSOS there, at least he never gives up even though he's not overly quick.
