Caught my eye in the JR interview...

"We seemed to be blocking for Judd and Murphy almost as much as Geelong were blocking for Ablett and Selwood. Has the team concentrated on protecting each other more over this year?

As midfield Coach, Mark Riley has been promoting this more and more. With Juddy as our best player and Murphy getting more attention, the focus has been on this in the midfield group over the last couple of weeks. With Juddy getting heavily tagged by Greenwood the other week we’ve had to. One of our statisticians is now focusing on this point and depending on the match-ups he tracks who blocks for Juddy or Murphy."

One could argue that it has taken too long but at least blocking for our ball carriers is starting to be recognized and acknowledged as important!

We are still developing as a team - good to see.

Yay! Next thing you know we'll have our forwards creating space for others to lead in to.

You've given away our cunning plan! What I want to know is why Juddy, Murph get a free ride? Why aren't they putting in the hard yards, giving blocks for the likes of Joseph, and Armfield? Try the veal.
