Team selection and list balance are incredibly complex and fluid areas - to do without Cox in the forward line we are missing out on his marking further down the ground - whilst with him up forward he draws the ball sometimes too much than is healthy for structure.
Much of it comes down to opponents and good quality game plans and discipline within the playing group.
Yeah, I’m not disagreeing with any of the above.
We also matched Adelaide in clearances which we’ve struggled with. So yes, there are so many variables.
