    Was a very pleasing performance by Rowy. We need to be seeing those sorts of numbers more often however (though I still think we are not playing him in his ideal position either).

        He was more in the guts last week which helped. He just seems ineffective as a player when he plays that more defensive orientated tackle at all costs role he seems to have been doing a lot this year.

        Yes his disposal isn't always crash hot, but his best junior footy and best footy for us has seen him be a bit more attacking and positive - more active than reactive.

        I get why they've been playing him where they have, but just not convinced it gets the most out of his talent.

          But it's just one part of our midfield puzzle too of course.
