Pre-Game Pressure: AFL 2019 Rd 6: Carlton vs Hawthorn in Launceston

[Thryleon]

If you have 22 talls, with some that can move like Cripps, McKay and Charlie when they are in form, it's not going to be an issue.

I think the idea you can have too many of one type is highly over-rated, Leigh Matthews said he want a team of 22 Koutafides yet Kouta had some significant deficiencies in parts of his a game.

Horses for courses is a much better policy, with form based selection taking priority over a type!

Formulaic selection and coaching is a long term tactical dead end, it's what brought MM undone! No matter how good your plan, if the opposition know it they will bring you undone!

Yep form is a good guide but class is permanent.  You can from chocolates to boiled lollies all in one game and vice versa.

For reference see fevola when he got stuck on 99. He started the game with 92 goals, had 5 or so shots before half time to convert once, then kicked 6 in the second half.
