Pre-Game Pressure: AFL 2019 Rd 5: Carlton vs Western BUlldogs

Tagging has been yesterday’s tactic for a couple of years now.  That’s not to say that less enlightened coaches don’t employ it.  De Boer on a badly out of form Dusty is a classic example of sacrificing one player’s contribution to achieve very little.  Unless your tagger can win his own ball, it’s a tactic that will follow the drop kick into obscurity.

Mind you, bringing the drop kick back for set shots at goal might improve accuracy.

Yep, and that's exactly what Ed did when he hit his straps, he won his own ball.
