Well spotted.
Marcus kicked his second goal at the 7 minute mark of the second quarter and at that stage had 9 possessions and plenty of hustle, and also a decent hanger in front of the Souths coaches box. On fire.... extraordinarily he picked up one handball for the remainder of the game.
And that is where we are at right at this point of time.
We have the Schillers, the Menzels (when fit), Hoskin and Boyd who can provide class in most quarters of most games. Then we have a batch of youngsters who show glimpses and then vanish again, sometimes back into the ressies a game or two after looking like they may have "arrived"
Emphasising the reliance on too few over long stretches of time, at three quarter time the Dogs had 60 tackles with 29 of theses shared by Travis, Jarrad and Pisani. At the same time 9 players had a TOTAL of six. No wonder we have guys running out of gas late in games.
Sustaining effort over 4 quarters, and match after match is the challenge for the next breed of Bulldog.
