Re: Covering Our Forwards

I just want to emphasise that Waite was rated 4th in the entire AFL for contested marks per game and 9th in the AFL for marks inside 50.
While the second statistic is more about delivery and the form of players up the field, contested marking is an ability that is worth its weight in gold.
I reckon Casboult is the only one of our forwards with the potential to get close to Waite's contested marking.
