Further, upon watching the replay... when Mihocek hurt his ankle, it appeared to my ageing eyes that a Richmond player went out of his way to step on his foot to prevent him getting to the marking duel. Can anyone confirm or bust this myth?
Nonetheless, I think the Tigers' scragging tactics are pretty clear but i guess team's play in the image of their coach. Hardwick was Sheedy's go-to defensive scragger back in the 90s, if memory serves.
A wide-ranging debate about the merits of such tactics would seem timely! They are No.1 in free kicks against for a reason. It's Clarkson's unsociable football all over again.
When WHE took a mark in the goal square the replay showed Rance with both his hands around Masons chest and tackling him. Yet the ump paid nothing even though he was looking right at it.
