did anyone get to see the NAB cup
now I know it was only one game................and one swallow doesnt make a byron sumner
but i felt that no Maxwell and no Reid.......... left the Pies with a different game plan ie they could not flood the opposition half with the same instensity nor effectiveness
I noticed how much they do rely on Maxwell to float thru the backline making the right calls on one on one or extra man defence.........but it also made me realise are we being naive to think that without our 4 key defenders that we are going to match the top 8 teams??
Our back six looked good enough in the pre season but when the comp starts can we truly expect our back 6 with 3 of them under 20 games experiences between them match it with the flooding pressure of the top 8 type teams?
