There's a few takeaways from this clip, but my personal favourite ? After complaining about the Byzantine complexity of Bolton's game plan messing with the players' heads, Teague was praised for simplifying things. Now, apparently playing 1on1 (at least in defence) is no longer acceptable because it's not "2021 football." HA!
St Kilda great Leigh Montagna expanded on King’s points, explaining how it was telling none of their defenders barked instructions like Melbourne players did against the Tigers, as well as the one-on-one nature of their style.
“That system behind the ball is not modern football. They are still playing one-on-one, as soon as one player, that was Murphy, who doesn’t have their man, the whole defensive system falls apart,” he added.
“If you think about how Richmond, Melbourne, the Western Bulldogs, West Coast. All the good teams have a system and they work together and roll around. Carlton play 1v1, they all follow their man and once one is free they end up being checkers and it goes over the top. That’s why they are being scored against so easily.
