His challenge was playing defence going backward.
Playing HFF/midfield should be a doddle.
They don't really tag, they don't need to. They have such a deep midfield they'll overpower your 1 or 2 stars through weight of numbers.
Previously they've setup their stoppage structure with two players putting contact/bodying Cripps and occupying the space around him, rather than a classic tag. They try and make the stoppage harder for him then would tend to let him go in general play.
From memory only stocker was matched up with stringer once. Much ado about nothing.
35 disposals, 89% disposal efficiency, 15 contested, 7 marks, 1 goal, 7 clearances, 4 inside 50s, 2 rebound 50s, 5 intercept possessions, 6 score involvements, 12 pressure acts, 2 Brownlow votes.
Game style is the point .
Yep, we like to see him hit bodies or drive through with contact not just arms...Reserves player write ups are enlightening.

Love the specific references to tackle technique for both LOB and Newman, makes me oh so happy to hear that we've got somebody trying to teach it properly.
Kennedy rushing off partway through the game cause he may have been required in the seniors? I'm assuming that was linked to Harry being under the weather.
Good signs for De Koning, hard to get a read on whether they think he's ready for the seniors.
Durdin obviously a work in progress, doubt we see him this year with Fisher and Martin still to return.
Sounds like Willo is struggling a bit, probably a combination of form and then overcompensating for his form by being too aggressive. Another who may well see out the year in the reserves.
Ramsay and Honey getting more praise, confident these two guys will get a chance at some point this year but I reckon it'll just be a taste before they head back to the reserves to keep building.
And finally Setters - based on his notes I don't think he's in the frame this week, sounds like they're still working on his focus and positioning at stoppages. Gonna take that as a huge positive compared to the possibility of him getting stuck on a wing for no good reason.
looking at our multiple goalkickers across our last 3 games against them
That's where we will need to be smart with our ball movement. If they are double teaming Big H then we will have someone free and we will need to lower the eyes and look for the spare.
Is THAT ALL..... Come on Bluem , get FAIRDINKUM !!
Forget Charlie. Has not played for 2 years. Should not be allowed to come near the seniors until he has played at least 8 games in the Ressies, and showed he deserves to be promoted, and that his body can stand up to the rigors of AFL.
8 games?! Why would he be held to a different standard than anyone else, particularly a 100% guaranteed best 22 player? How many reserves games did Doc have to play to prove his body could stand up to the rigors of AFL?
Why only 8? Sticks played 136 games games in the SANFL before joining Carlton, didn't do him any harm!
that's it, everyone who's played less than 136 at the lower grade has to go back and prove themselves before you're eligible for senior selection!
