Is it something that you think we will stick with and try and teach to do better? Do Rutten/Cara swear by having that stoppage sweeper? Or can you see them canning that and trying to win and move the ball another way?
I do not know. Personally I think we are better suited to playing an extra in defence or just 6 forwards.
Is it a function of personnel? Richmond play the sweeper because they don't have a strong clearance group, whereas if they were working with a Geelong, Collingwood or Bulldogs midfield group, would they persist with that structure?
