Hoping strategy isn't his job then!
*did playing that way get them to the GF & 3rd when they otherwise wouldn't have though?
You could argue that point. All I know is with the teams Norwood fielded, especially in 2012, Norwood Coach Nathan Bassett had a masterful defensive structure, one being deployed in the AFL at the time but relatively new to SANFL, and you had to find ways around it. IMHO, Collins didn't appear to make much effort to penetrate it. Once again, that's my opinion, not necessarily fact. I did get the feeling people at West Adelaide were quite happy with him overall, but not all that upset when he moved on.
