2018 Rd 5: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs West Coast

[LP]

Not really, just from what I see, and I agree with a few others that say he picks and chooses when to go.
Maybe that's a learnt behaviour

Tackles per game last year v this year were 60% higher.
Clearances per game 2.1 down to 1.8

I wonder how much of this is down to either 2nd year blues or the presence of Kennedy in the first few games.

I agree with the general perception, that SPS no longer looks like he belongs, I have no idea why!

Obviously he is not on his own in this regard for 2018, there are several down of form as we try to introduce attack. Perhaps we have drafted players who are primarily defensive in mindset, perhaps SPS primarily scores through tackles and forward pressure.

It's clear that Dow and O'Brien are the other side of the coin though!
