A lot gets made about our midfield and contested ball stats when we are in form slumps, particularly that this hurts our inside 50 differential in games and makes us non-competitive.
Not to say our midfield isn’t entirely underperforming, but when you look at it more closely i think our two...
With trade period done and only late picks left in the draft, thought I’d have a crack on best 22 for 2021.
