3.2 in the AFL > 0.2 in the VFL...Yeah, but it isn't like Phillips has been kicking goals anyway. Play Draper a bit more forward. Is simply perfect opportunity to see what Bryan can give us. He literally can't do worse than Phillips has been of late.
And I completely disagree that the coaches know any better than any of us here
And it's not just kicking goals, it's forward craft: leading patterns, finding gaps, taking contested marks inside 50, wrestling with opponents if need be and working them under the ball or out of the way.
That's not to say Flip or Draper are great at those things, but they've been serviceable, while Bryan hasn't put any pressure on their spots in this regard.
Bringing Bryan in at the moment would probably mean Draper plays forward for most of the game.
