While he's yet to do much, the Dogs really missed Tom Boyd up forward last night. They kept bombing it forward but were too short and small to compete against North's taller defenders. They really needed a big bodied key forward to mark or bring the ball to ground level. They also missed Murphy's clean use of the ball off half-back. It was like watching us last night with that many turnovers
.
North, on the other hand, are having a dream run. All their players including all their 30+ brigade are fit and in form, so their best 22 is settled and on the park every week.
