Pav cannot take a contested mark

[FarmersWife]

Watch the game again - i saw it live and just re-watched it all plus the last quarter twice

His contested marks came down field (long way from goals) when he was in the forward 50 he only marked uncontested on a lead - never when he was one on one with his defender (Henderson i think - Patful towled him up in the Brisbane game) in the scoring zone - Best defender will always spoil the Pav he needs the ball kicked into space to give him any chance.

We need someone who can take that contested grab in the scoring zones!!

That's the problem. But there's never any space these days. So you need to be Sandilands or Tippett's height, or a Mayne/Ballantyne livewire types for when the ball inevitably hits the ground. When he's in the midfield he takes heaps of marks, because he feels (and IS) physically dominant against his direct opponents.

Slow ball movement is the problem at Freo, if you want to get the backs out of their comfort zone, and give Pav, etc a chance, move the ball quicker.
Mundy, Barlow, will get better with games in them, Fyfe is the unknown, their kicking will improve all year if they are fit.
Our backline needs to switch play more often, and players need to spread
quicker, we need to take the game on when we have the ball.
Our natural game is attack, all we need Lyon to do is to get the balance right.

heh rationalises a bullshit argument by discarding contested marks that he took

wisdom

And saying that Patful towelled him up.. many lols. The Freo midfield killed Pav that day. Pav was trying to take 1 on 3 contested marks most of the day.. not even King Carey could do that.

Too slow, defensively weak, average contested mark.

Is he over rated Cassius?

Why are you asking me? When it comes to overrated players, you're the one who compares Suban to Luke Hodge.

Agree. you'd think our midfield would have enough brains by now not to kick it to Pav when he has 3 on him. And even if he was one-on-one they would kick it over his head.
