This is true of all teams. Richmond was a system based team too, but they couldn't be worked out until the talent stopped performing.Love Derm, however he's the greatest coach never to have coached, IMO. As with every great team it's a synergy of both talent and system. No talent wouldn't be able to do what we do pretty much week in week out. The roughest part of last night was tossing up between Kelly on ABC or Derm on SEN.
The advantages we have over some teams is that other clubs do not have 4 elite small defenders that could stop, Watson, Moore, MacDonald and Ginnivan. Bulldogs managed to only stop Moore.
I think we would be in trouble if the dogs had those 4 instead of just weightman who was easily handled by Hardwick.
