Quote: The Reaper "I’m aware that Welsby isn’t the best defensive fullback, but I must have missed Field becoming one? Pretty much every time I’ve watched him he’s been pretty abysmal in defence on the whole'"
Could be wrong but I think you're possibly judging Field mostly based on him defending at stand off against Cats at Magic when he was coming back from injury and he really struggled.
His one on one defence at full back has always been pretty decent and off the top of my head I can't think of any games he's been bad in when he's played there.
