I do find it hard to believe that Reiwoldt and Lynch are playing against 2 or 3 opponents each. If true then they need to separate from each other more. And players up the field then need to look for the 3 or so Tigers without an opponent. Reiwoldt had a poor game, pure and simple. Not from lack of trying. You'd never question Jack in that area.
You might find it hard to believe, but it makes sense when you see our forward fifty in person. 4 of our forwards are smalls, three of which push immediately into the midfield, or on to the wing. Usually a couple of opponents go with them, but we almost always set up with an outnumber forward.
Aarts is the only other forward that stays mostly forward (though he moved a lot further up the ground last night) and his opponent always sags off to intercept.
Rioli and Castagna don't demand an aerial opponent, even when they are there.
Dusty is the only other one who always draws a tight opponent, but he is really good at sneaking deep to cause a one on one, as he moves in and out of the mid.
Plus, and here's the important one, we want Jack going up against two or three. We design it that way.
It's one of the reasons Dusty gets one and their backman are out of position enough to turn it over back to us.
