Absolutely not! As Longmire said before the game, Cripps and Kennedy went head to head most of the game and their focus was on winning the ball, not stopping their opponent.

Yes, that’s pretty much how I saw it. I first noticed Samo’s work in blocking Kennedy’s run at the ball in the 3rd and I assumed that he was working to instructions. It certainly seemed to help Cripps win clearances. What I particularly liked about Samo’s tactics is that he would bump Kennedy, then roll off into space for a handball receive.

Be interesting this week with our old friend Nick Holman a candidate to do the tagging....
Really? It certainly wasn’t evident watching live, unless two blokes coming together to contest the ball is called tagging these days
