While getting smashed in the clearances, struggling to take a mark around the ground and having our key forwards double-teamed 🤔

TDK was winning clearances and tackles when he was solo ruck. (also taking marks around the ground and kicking goals) mids were slightly out of form first few rounds but our scoring from turn over was through the roof and that's pedal to the metal.

That's the point isn't it.
Same as it's always been....
It's never a case of one setup gives you a greater advantage every occasion.
That comes down to individual circumstances, strengths and weaknesses and match-ups in individual games.

In these situations you will gain in one area but you will lose in another.
That's the balance that the coaches have to determine.

It also depends on how the individuals themselves are playing and what the opposition does.

Pitto and De Koning weren't outstanding but they limited Gawn's influence and that gave us an edge around the ground.  De Koning was also involved in the tactics to keep Lever out of the play.  If either of them have a shocker, we're behind the 8 ball.

Another midfielder might have given us more run but at the cost of allowing both Gawn and Lever to run amok.
