I have noted this a few times in the past to, what I assume are, glazed looks from some of you on here: Confidence in marking the footy. I bring it up as Hogan just had the biggest example of I have ever seen of an elite marker of the footy to show an abject inability to hold the football kicked in his direction. This lack of confidence leads to 'hard hands' and little trust to mark it in your fingers; it can lead a player to try and 'brick it down' by deadening the ball with your palm and 'two-grabbing' everything in sight. And this leads me to Dawes - the person in question that I have noted in the past with little confidence in his marking. It comes and goes, and Hogan will get it back as soon as Round 1 I would say. But it is a part of the reason why, if Dawes can get back on the park (yes a big 'if' OD), then Dawes can give a great deal more than he gave in 2015.
