Wow, he missed a tackle. Like no one else does that. Like I said Hutchison has had worse defense for us or does that not matter for people? He missed 6 tackles last round & his attack is woeful.
Hutch made 25 tackles; missed 5, 3 ineffective
Taaffe made 4 tackles; missed 5, 1 ineffective
Kiraz made 18 tackles, missed 7, 0 ineffective
Not sure about Sexton. But it would be a nightmare to defend in Reggies with Perham beside you. He makes basic read errors, doesn't hold the line (flighty) and just flat out misses tackles too. I'm not making excuses for Sexton ...haven't checked his tackle numbers on Match Centre. Happy for someone to enlighten us all w.r.to this.
But there is no doubt that D is the critical factor that CC is building our new doggie foundations on to adapt to the new faster, more mobile game. Last year's big, slow lumbering forwards were easy meat up the guts for any half smart dummy half. Basic touch footy arrow pattern would open us up EVERY single time. Still does when they get tired this year. However, this is where Mann & Salmon's leg speed and impressive tackle efficiency come into CC's master plan. They CAN tackle! A LOT!! Hutch is a big body who can compensate for their deficiencies dealing with big boppas. Not sure if Sexton can nail someone 1 on 1 like Hutch can.
Anyway, that's my guess. Course I could be totally wrong too - lol
