Re: Rd 22: Post Game Peace? Carlton vs Hawthorn
Reply #142 –
Mitchell put zero effort into stopping Murphy. You let Murphy loose like that we're 10 times more likely to win. And win we did. As Collingwood did when Mitchell had 50 pos. As Geelong did when he had 43. GC won when he had 39. Hawks supporters I know are starting to worry. Mitchell combined with Langford.... there's not a lot of classy ball movement there. Unless it's Burgoyne who is 35 there's little to hurt the opposition through the midfield.
He's not hurting opposition but his opponent is running loose on the outside somewhere.
Dangerfield and Martin have twice the inside 50s he has, triple the goals and double the goal assists. He's good at what he does but ranking him based on the possession column of the stat sheet I think is misleading.
The way I see his game is that his possessions free/set up the outside runners.
