Watching our midfield dismantle the Sydney midfield group on Saturday night, it dawned on me that Clarko (and his assistants) appear to have devised some strategies to beat the Sydney and Freo heavy congestion around the ball game plans. I am not going to go into any detail on my theories (never know who is lurking ) other than to comment it has proven successful in the 2 opportunities where we had the majority of our midfielders available for selection. And almost pulled it off earlier in the year against the Swans even when we had a few senior midfielders missing. It might be coincidental but our match ups seemed to be spot on and positioning around the contest perfect for spillages.
It doesn't happen by chance that we smashed the Freo and Sydney midfield despite both getting talked up as being so much better than ours. And then when you consider we have ruckman who apparently cannot win a tap out. How is it so?
Anyone notice some trends? Thoughts?
