That's a dumb comment.
Its not a dumb comment, and a little civility goes a long way, especially after a loss.
Tagging is a tradeoff. Playing Curnow in the middle in a tagging role is robbing another younger more creative player of very valuable time in contests, and probably giving up 15-20 possessions over a game in exchange for cutting 10-15 from an opponent. Cripps got sat on today by Howe and still managed 28 touches. Curnow got 24 touches and kicked a goal at half forward. Its a trade off and we lost by 5 points.
