I somewhat agree but you need to adjust your gameplan to suit the conditions. They still have some small forwards. Not sure whether the coach made the moves earlier on the spark them. Gold coast still had some talls, like Chol, but he read the play and kicked some of his from crumb type of position which works in the wet.
The real point is that these are far from ordinary football conditions, and very far from ordinary for a WA side. I’m not taking anything away from the Suns, they have played the conditions far better.
