We need better ground ball players forward of center. We have the air covered but when the ball hits the ground the players are not good enough imo.
Jack Graham had 20 possessions 9 tackles as half forward
Shai Boilton had 18 posessions 4 tackles as half forward
..and Dusty 23 possessions always a threat luckily we nullified his influence because we should have been blown out of the water.
In comparison to our crop - not good enough.
Graham was their most influential player for mine (watching them live). At one stage he hobble off and looked gone. He got strapped, came on and continued on. His touches, bumps, tackles and assists were deft. This is what I meant in an earlier post about Jack Martin. Taranto and Rioli got a truckload of it, Graham hurt us more.
