You really do have selective memory, why don’t you look back at the games and see which forwards actually got a hold of us. But just to take a sample size of our recent losses:
2018 prelim final: de goey 4, Cox 3
Round 2 v Collingwood: De Goey 5
Round 3 v gws: Cameron 7, finlayson 5
Round 7 v wbd: Naughton 5
Round 11 v north: brown 5, wood 4
Round 12 v cats: Hawkins 4
Round 13 v crows: Jenkins 4, walker 3
As for this all those players I named winning contested ball unlike houli
Whitfield: avging 28.5 disposals, 20.8 uncontested, 6.6 contested
Lloyd: avging 31.2 disposals, 20.5 uncontested, 4.9 contested
Laird: avging 25.7 disposals, 17.5 uncontested, 7.8 contested
Houli: avging 28.3 disposals, 19.7 uncontested, 5.2 contested
So you keep going to/watching games with your blinders on and I’ll keep doing the same but not judging the players before the ball gets bounced and then actually using stats to back up my argument.
