Leaving aside that in the Swan's match he was once again a motivation killer, the fact is that since his return to the side we have gone back to the same old predictable approach of entry into the forward line, namely, coming around the flanks and kicking long to the forward line.
During the time he was out injured our plan of attack was quite different - bringing the ball through the centre corridor as quickly as possible, denying the opposition backmen the chance to settle, and allowing our small forwards freedom of movement.
If he is not available for selection against Melbourne, I hope we return to the plan which has brought us success.
Hmm i get where your coming from and yes Charlie has excelled when Harry is not there, however even though he has been in horrible form this year, he did win a Coleman medal two years ago and had a reasonable year last year. If he kicks 2 goals and is not concussed then he plays next week.
Tall players don't get any shorter as the game goes on, and he is still someone that the opposition has to put one one of their best defenders on to ensure he is kept in check.
