Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 6: Carlton vs. Hawthorn

[PaulP]

And yet you readily admit Cripps regularly gets tagged.

ffs Paul, take a few reality pills.

The point is, tagging Cripps usually has little or no effect. How often does he look like the best player on the ground, the most influential player ? If tagging is not really going to curb a player's influence, then the tagger would be better deployed elsewhere.

You always lose something when you tag - the real issue is whether the gain offsets the loss. Clearly a number of modern coaches are reluctant to use regular taggers, not just Bolts.

We didn't lose today because of tagging.
