I'm more than happy for our coach to be creative in how he develops our game style - we've got a young list that's going places and some of the best coaches challenge conventional tactical wisdom.
The problem is that it looks like he eschews hard tags as well as ruck contests, which can compound the problems for our midfield. Roving to Sandilands taps might be fine in isolation, but to do it without tagging the best player in the game seems a little neglectful at best.
My view is that this is a learning year on a number of levels so I'm content to see how things develop. But the past two weeks have been difficult to watch in games where opposition players are getting off the leash almost unchallenged.
Thoughts?
