Have a look at how people have reacted to one loss in which we rested Cottrell and SPS, to bring in Polson and Dow.
Teague's on a hiding to nothing in that equation.
Not saying your point isnt worth considering, just challenging it to make sure its one to consider. I think we will see a few more trialled coming up too, but time will tell.
Yep, I said this in another thread, our biggest sin against Collingwood wasnt capitalising on the sustained pressure we were putting on and our time in forward half. For some reason we seemed unwilling to have a go for goal. Martins pulled kick to Cripps might tell a story in itself. I thought he was in range and he decided to go short, we might have a few more soft tissue issues than we first thought, and the advise might be to go short rather than long.
I havent seen anyone try and pot one 40+ out for a few weeks.
Yes, and in the current era it's even more important to be able to kick "over the crush" from 40-50m. Sometimes you just have to take you shot rather than handballing about to find the perfect position. Have to be able to kick on the opposite foot. How many shots at goals, clearer shots, that haven't taken because the player can't kick on his opposite foot. Goals are at a premium, have to take them when they are there.
In this current climate cleans hands delivering and receiving is so important. Makes such a difference.
