My question to the coaches is;
If Darcy was right to play and would have come in had Tabs not been ready, why didn’t he play in the goal square and we could have used Pearce in the backline?
IMO we will see a much better forward set up with Darcy and Tabs this week and hopefully a lot less intercept marking by the opposition, Tabs can lead up to high half forward and leave Darcy and a crumbling forward deep in attack. I would also like to see our best ball users delivering into the forward line, Mundy, Cerra, Young. So get them into the wing or high half forward and tell them to take the half chances when they appear.
Edit: also whoever suggested Acres could play a negating role on Lever should be banned from the game day coaches box, he would have to be the least contested ball winner on our list, useful racking up possessions by being in constant motion on the wing and finding space. Literally any of our medium backs would have done a better job, Conca, Hughes, Young or Ryan, at that stage we still had Cox and Hamling in the backline to cover their two talls.
