What is the obsession with handballing off after taking a mark to someone who is under pressure

And not concentrating so that the handball lands at their feet

And handballing to someone who is very slow in terms of ball to boot

It seems to be an obsession to give it off to someone under the pump

Is this an observation from today's game?

I assume it's about trying to move the ball on as quickly as possible, even when it means taking risks. With our style of play, it's essential as we play a direct style to key forwards who don't take that many contested marks. So they need a chance to win the ball one-on-one or in space. Even if we wanted to (which thankfully we don't - although it might help us to pinch an extra win or 2 in the short term), we don't have the skill level to play the chip-chip possession style that so many teams favour (and where you never handball unless it's to clear adavantage, and always kick so your teammate can mark instead).
