AFL Rd 10 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney

[Lods]

While getting smashed in the clearances, struggling to take a mark around the ground and having our key forwards double-teamed ?

That's the point isn't it.
Same as it's always been....
It's never a case of one setup gives you a greater advantage every occasion.
That comes down to individual circumstances, strengths and weaknesses and match-ups in individual games.

In these situations you will gain in one area but you will lose in another.
That's the balance that the coaches have to determine.
