Maybe some of the other older posters on here can help me out. Back in the day there used to be a rule that you couldn't bump or shepherd unless your opponent was within 5 meters of the ball. Another rule that's been forgotten amongst all the changing interpretations each year. I'll bet it's still in the rules.
A lot won't like it but you're spot on, could've won that game by 15 goals, missed opportunity to get a huge percentage boost. Overuse of the ball, fumbling when in the clear due to going with one hand. You can toss a coin who goes out between TMac and Weid, one rarely gets near it and the other has resumed his meh self. Get BBB back in asap. Kozzie a bit less chasing and a bit more getting the ball yourself.
