Fun fact of the day....
Jack Silvagni was our =5th tallest player today, listed at 191cm. (Jones, Weitering, TDK, Harry)
Lachie Plowman is the same height (although some suggest he is 193cm), and is asked to play on the Eddie Betts' types.
2 blokes, same height.....asked to play on the tallest and smallest of opposition.
Jack gets credit for playing ruck and punching above his weight......which he should.
Plowman gets chastised routinely because the smaller types give him a hard time. - Fair is fair. Give the bloke some credit.
Plowman costs goals week after week and is poor decision maker. Had an opportunity to run across and kill a contest near the boundary instead just lopped in, Coll player marks and has a shot on goal. On another occasion he comes second man in (unnecessarily) and lays a crude tackle, free kick. Henry kicked goals on him because he was clueless when he has to defend. I'm sick of the excuses. Our defence has been poor this year and he is a weak link that must be replaced. The gap between his best and worst is huge.
