Last post by Lods -We miss Fogarty.
We do.
But what's also missing across the board is that defensive attack on the ball and the player in possession that saw us with two players in just about every tackle after the turn around last year. Fogarty was a big part of that. Effort and pressure have slackened off.
Maybe the players subconsciously thought that once they found that intensity it would just remain without having to work for it.
They need to re-find it or the season will be gone.

Last post by madbluboy -Williams offered way more effort, aggression and pressure than some of the others for most of the game, but when you have two or three around you offering nada you can be made look like a goose.
Williams 3 tackles, 13 pressure acts
Fantasia 3 tackles, 13 pressure acts
Owies 1 tackle, 11 pressure acts
O. Hollands 1 tackle, 20 pressure acts
E. Hollands 3 tackles, 21 pressure acts
Durdin 1 tackle, 11 pressure acts.

Last post by madbluboy -A couple of open-field tackles that Williams stuck in the forward line suggest that he has much more to offer in that role than either Durdin or Fantasia or both.

Last post by RiverRat -Williams didn't make it as a midfielder, but persisting with him as a high forward and going through the midfield at times is worth trying.

Last post by blueboys_1 -The two frees paid against Zac Williams for holding Elliott are a case in point. Collingwood defenders did exactly the same to our forwards several times later in the game and there wasn't a whistle to be heard.
Perhaps umpires wish to set the ground rules early in the game, possibly subconsciously, then relax their interpretation as the game progresses.
