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.
Justin Leppitch has just been interviewed on SEN I think and canned our recruiting especially Lachie O'brien and said Richmond wouldn't have taken him and he isn't their style. Said he had a great highlight tape but wasn't for them, they preferred Higgins and McIntosh... Reading between the lines LOB wasn't hard enough for the Tigers and their standards in that area are different..
