I was referring to Joyce and Connellan, but your point is very well made. Tommy was supposed to make up for the Lovett fiasco. Our ersatz number one pick. A little wide of the mark, to be sure, to be sure.dragit wrote:And came home with…White Winmar wrote:We went to Ireland in search of blistering pace and running ability.

In my day, when the other ruckman was dominating, you simply ran through him at the centre bounce!

Kicked ten consecutive goals. Not all from the centre clearance, but it shifted the momentum. Coincidence? I think not. The domination started in the middle. We were under constant pressure and we cracked.
Simples!

I suggest you watch Jack Steven at a clearance
Not when the ball is about to be thrown up, but when he hits the drop

Exactly BM, unless Steven is completely blocked off the ball , just watch the # of contests Jack sharks, it's a trademark of his centre contests.BigMart wrote:Jacks Back
