I thought that Fisher's first half was crucial because he was the only one of our midfielders who convincingly beat his opponents and got plenty of the pill.  He may not have laid any tackles but that doesn't mean that he's not defending.  Players are coached to corral opponents rather than overcommitting and Fisher did that very well with his pressure contributing to intercept marks in our defensive 50.

I think Vossy is focused on teaching us how to 'control ' games for wins and part of that is to let teams use up their petrol tickets before we really  turn on our attacking mode.

Honey runs more like a track athlete than a footballer.

The MRO has offered Harry a week off for pushing Sheezel.

Nothing for the bloke who punched Harry in the head or for Zurhaar’s dangerous straight arm to Cerra’s face 🙄

I noticed that our tackles were more vigorous when Zurhaar was the target.  Doc certainly made him pay for the high fend off that wasn’t penalised.

"Pushing" is a bit rich DJ

Harry has a fair bit of momentum up initially but he puts the brakes on and is almost stationary when he makes contact with Sheezel's shoulder. His arms extend and his left hand slides over Sheezel's shoulder and makes contact with his neck. Harry then throws his arms out and away from Sheezel.  The "expert" comments, "I don't think there's anything to worry about there."  It's the pushing action to the shoulder and neck that upends Sheezel.

If anything, the MRO should commend Harry for doing everything he could to minimise what could have been a very forceful contact.

Why didn't he put his arms up in the air immediately when he decided not to tackle?

It wasn't malicious and more clumsy, Sheezel got up ok but when a big bloke collects a little bloke it never looks great as any contact however slight sends them flying...my gripe is Zurhaar was punching, fending off to the face /head and got away with it...again...

Im not for a minute suggesting it was malicious EB, I agree it was clumsy, he put both forearms up and collected his head. Whilst I agree with you, incidents involving Zurhaar or other players are totally irrelevant w.r.t Harry's incident.

We have to stick by our players, a KPP experiment is no reason not to challenge.

Ive said this in another thread, and I think we are better off playing a game without one of Charlie or Harry to understand what else is there just in case, that if he cops a week for that then every single head high contact must be sighted and taken to the tribunal.  Spoils are worse than what sheezel copped from Harry.

I see what you mean however I think we have been virtually playing with only one of them as Harry was basically not there for the first 3 games, considering his output.
