I'd expect our KPP to take their KPP out of the contest and leaving the small forward an avenue to goal. Instead on both occasions our KPPs sat back expecting a cheap tap from sMurph. The question is that by coaching design or habit?
If that had been Castagna running under the footy and Riewoldt coming the other way wrestling with a KPD opponent, Riewoldt would have taken the KPD out and let Castagna run free onto the footy, which is ultimately the type of team act that delivers a premiership.
