I was referring to his entire season. From where I watch the game from at Easts, I see him quite closely, and his technique is shocking, he always goes with his hands then falls to the ground. It is concerning when you have two players in the backline (Brandon who defends on the wing as well), who cannot complete a tackle. Fortunately White, Gordon, Wilder sre strong in defence, so it gets shut down early.
But as seen on the weekend, when the ball gets wide to a player like Morseau (Felsman, Fitzgerald, Parker, Lafoili), that poor technique doesn't cut it. And thats where Wests looked dangerous, when they got it out past the Easts centres, and pushed on the wider channels. If I was Brothers, I'd be applying the same game plan. Wih Greene throwing bullets, Felsman/Firzgerald/Hyne can potentially make some serious inroads when they get out wider from the strong defending Easts centres.
Easts should look to play as tight as possible. I think the Tigers have the stronger pack and set peice, so utilising Brandon/Gordon's kicking for field position, then using the packs strength will go a long way in shutting out Greene & co.
