I loved Motlops game his tackling was awesome he anticipates the play so well he pressures a disposal doesn’t over commit and is straight to the next tackle.Newnes can play as 7th defender or he comes out for stocker...
We can't break up the forward pressure that Honey, Durdin and Motlop brought...
Don't think they will risk anyone else ala Owies, Weitering
I think it was against Lobbe didn’t tackle him ran around him to make sure he didn’t get in his back or tackle him if he had disposed of it then locked the ball in.
A lot of the time with the lightning handballs it’s not tackling the ball player but anticipating the chain he’s balanced in traffic and has time to choose best option.
He isn’t super quick but his footy brain more than makes up for it.
He’s very tidy by hand or foot he’s just a really nice natural footballer to watch
Those three you mentioned spooked Freo they started rushing there kicks from the backline in the second half and turned it over
Don’t think between them they kicked a lot of goals but they created plenty
