Firstly no one likes a pedant. Whilst wing is part of the midfield (especially if you're an AA selector) I think it's good to separate the engine room from the outside game. In terms of wings, yes I was having a light-hearted dig regards Acres. Darcy went off injured in that game (early 3rd quarter - he went back on but couldn't do much and was subbed off) and it turned the match, we win if he stays on fit. Meek was playing also and split ruck time with Darcy so hitouts don't mean a lot (Darcy had 10 disposals and Marshall 9 despite playing half a game less). Don't get me wrong, Marshall's a decent ruck, but he isn't in the same tier as Darcy. We were also missing Cox, arguably our most important defender, plus Mundy, Fyfe and Taberner. If you were missing King, Steele, Crouch and Battle, and Marshall got injured half way through the game are you winning it?Wing is a part of the midfield, first off. Second, Marshall 26 hitouts to Darcy 12 when we played. During that game didn't you give up 65 points to our 55 points. "wing (thanks for that by the way)" Do you mean Blake Acres?
