If you look at what Membrey does without the ball for example he looks stuffed but keeps chasing and presenting. I wonder if that is Sharman’s shortfall?
If you watch a replay of his 320 minute long career you'll notice he was given lots of space and freedom by the opposition coaches to practice his marking and kicking.
In his three full games he lead the team for contested marks twice. What games were you watching?

I will admit freely Kosi that I am only using the eye test.

Hey Sunny Ernie are you the first to use St kilda as a verb as in "They have St Kilda'd him!!!"
Fascinating addition to the English language: To st KIlda someone meaning to snuff their natural ability and/or confidence.
