It's amazing EB1. I have a bunch of work associates who have only a cursory knowledge of AFL, they are basketball types and two of them are involved in coaching NBA / Metro juniors. But they watch big AFL games like last night.
Both of them stated the slow ball movement of the Curnow boys crueled any chances we had. They basically stated by the end of the game Nthmond setup to prefer Charlie and Ed winning the football knowing they would hold it up and give Nthmond defense time to setup. Apparently preferentially surrendering possession like this, to slow thinkers or movers, is as deliberate basketball tactic to tilt the turnover stats in your favor.
The people at work even though they are at best casual observers saw through it, what about our coaches?
