If you man up you chase a player that breaks your structure and allows quick transition play whilst players aimlessly follow guys around the park and get pulled out of shape.
It also isolates men one on one in certain areas of the ground and usually results in players like the bont getting one on ones against guys that have no chance of beating him in a contest.
Going man on man is very simple and I don't think a team has won a flag doing it without having the best players in the competition since the turn of the century.
Our players look as lost as they did playing for Bolton. The criticism back then was the game plan was too complicated. Our guys must just be dumb.
You let the opposition main drivers run around unopposed then don't complain when they take over and you lose because eventually momentum swings and if you have haven't taken your chances they will.
