Our defence issues are directly related to our inefficient forward line.Agreed, it's not the entire problem but it's a large contributing factor.
I don’t see that at all. Young’s contested possessions and spoils are comparable with Weitering’s and Kemp’s and his teammates don’t hesitate to give him the ball if he’s the best option.
He was the victim of some good blocks by the Geelong forwards, some poor umpiring decisions and poor play by his teammates up the field, but his game was more than adequate.
World Cup is in USA and Windies, so small grounds will suit.Personally, given the venues, I'd be going for he look ahead of consistency.
Except when we rise the pressure rating to 200, rather than 150/160, then we have no issue. Then we are good defensively and we kick goals in a hurry. A case of switching on more. After the real bake the players got last week watch how much better we are defensively this week.
Nup, we're favourites. $1.77 to $2.05.
Our major problem at the moment is that Lewis Young has no confidence in his ability.......and the backline players themselves (Weltering, Newman, Williams Boyd, Kemp) have no confidence in him either after having the likes of McGovern, Saad, Docherty down back who they could rely on.
Bring in McGovern for Young and see the difference.

The pile-on that Zac is experiencing probably won’t help 😡
He may not be at his best but he’s not far off and his class and ability show out. All of our defenders are under extra pressure with the absence of Saad and McGovern but I’m more than happy to back them in. Vossy and Sammy will make changes if necessary and Zac may need to freshen up or tweak his role. Either way, he’s a vital cog in our defensive structure.
