As someone else observed today in another topic, I couldn't believe the number of smothers laid on us yesterday - think I saw around 8 - usually by a man on a mark. And it wasn't all by Joel Mac. I don't think we managed one in return. That suggests to me that we need to make allowance for the different surface when kicking, but obviously don't. This stadium is not up to AFL standard. Also our clearance from kick-ins was horrible vs previous weeks. I suspect the shallower pockets, even if by a few metres, really cuts off an open left and right option for the kicker. That seriously needs more preparation by the coaching staff.
