This one hurts. I’m still shaking my head - did we score an old fashioned traditional “kick to the goal square and let our big man out-mark their big man in the goal square” goal in the first half?
I’d have to watch the replay but I can’t recall even one. Why oh why then, did we think it was going to work in the last quarter?
This is where Clarkson gets the chocolates - 3 times in the last q their big men (well, Impy “plays” big) took strong uncontested marks in or near the goalsquare whilst their teammates played a sacrificial blocking role ensuring Casboult, McKay, et al didn’t get a proper run at the ball.
It was clearly rehearsed and practised.
On the other hand, the free flowing and more chaotic methods we employed in the first half are so much harder to negate.
