No one has a match for Bontompelli. Control what you can control. Limit Libba and Treloar. Let LDU go against Bont. Be good to watch.Bont did an absolute number on Daicos at the stoppages in the second half when the Dogs beat the Pies. Totally shut him out of any footy around stoppages while he kept winning it himself.
I worry we don’t have a matchup to go with Bont.
Atley had pace and even his skills were good however his decision making was poor. Seemed to birst free then looked like a possum caught on a set of headlights, he would hesitate then chose poorly.I don't understand why we never tried to develop Luke in other roles. We paid a high price then made him a career back pocket. Atley was same. No development.

Sort of needed a role where the thinking was taken away. Bit like lmac really.
Well we had cunners in that role who was pretty much a blue ribbon insider.That is because he was an inside mid, where you play on instinct. Completely wasted him.
I reckon we should rotate players on and off him. Phil will be very predictable. I’d like to see Wardlaw go straight to him he loves a bit of lip and niggle. In fact I wouldn’t be against sending X to him at the first centre bounce and have Teakle contest the centre bounce. Unconventional yes, work who knows, but definately get in their heads.No one has a match for Bontompelli. Control what you can control. Limit Libba and Treloar. Let LDU go against Bont.

Yes, let's mess with the system that has lead us to playing 4 weeks of playing very good football.I reckon we should rotate players on and off him. Phil will be very predictable.

Bont is hot and cold and while he is in good form at present, Phillips should go straight to Libba. Do you seriously think tagging an opposition player is the reason for our form turn around?Yes, let's mess with the system that has lead us to playing 4 weeks of playing very good football.
I agree Phillips should tag Libba. Yes, I think the introduction of Phillips as a tagger is one of the things that has contributed to our improvement the Pies game would have very different without Phillips tag on Daicos.Bont is hot and cold and while he is in good form at present, Phillips should go straight to Libba.

He was being used on a wing during the first Covid year.I don't understand why we never tried to develop Luke in other roles. We paid a high price then made him a career back pocket. Atley was same. No development.
**** yeah. Now's the perfect time to do it.Yes, let's mess with the system that has lead us to playing 4 weeks of playing very good football.
Meh. If Atley had the inside game to go with his pace and athleticism he’d have been picked much earlier and touted as the next Judd.That is because he was an inside mid, where you play on instinct. Completely wasted him.
Oliver never needed a tag. He did do a good job on him but do you think he'd stop 2022 Oliver? Certainly not hardship, this time last year he played two good games in a row and you were one of the fools saying he's our next captain!!!! Real test will be against the bont.
Agree. Phillips needs to negate Treloar. After that, we go H2H with the Dogs.I think Treloar is the better option to tag. Libba is a bit more immune to tags because of the way he plays. Teams have tried before and failed.
There probably wasn’t a tagging job done in the entire 2022 season, it’s been out of vogue for about 8 years, so maybe Oliver’s best seasons were inflationary anyway.
Tagging seems to be back in fashion though, and Will is doing a great job of it. Not sure if anyone has ever successfully tagged Bont, so I wouldn’t measure Will on that.
I know Hearts to hearts had a bit of a kickabout a few years ago, but asking her to run with the dogs mids might be a tough ask?Agree. Phillips needs to negate Treloar. After that, we go H2H with the Dogs.
