Whitfield hates a hard tag and that isn't Martins game at all as he was recruited to be creative and provide some goals, not sit on a bloke who needs an endurance type of tagger.
If not Cottrell, I would have played Curnow (who has really gone off the boil) on Whitfield. Martin should be an offensive weapon demanding a dedicated defender, but he has lost his zip and can’t be fit.
I have hopes for Parks but, at this stage, he is a VFL player.
It’s a lot easier coaching from from an armchair and with the benefit of hindsight, but I’m really perplexed by our team selection and tactics ... or lack thereof ?
