Harry O'brien shepparding the man on the mark ?....a simple pick and roll.....yeah we will copy that too eventually.
I hate this tactic and can`t believe the AFL haven`t done anything about it. Should be outlawed. Totally against the spirit of the game. Potential to cause injury too. I have noticed more clubs doing now.
There is a fair bit of basketball type blocking going on to change match ups when fwds go on a lead. I think there is a fair bit more to come.
A team can defend what Harry is doing if they are switched on and have planned for it.
It just takes a man to follow Harry in and sit a couple of metres behind the mark. He can't sheppard 2 blokes at once.
