So our first choice tagger Ed Curnow didn't play on the weekend.
He would have went to Sloane without any doubt. In any case, Kerridge went to him instead.
I wasn't sure what role he was playing, because Sloane was able to get free and remain alone on several occasions throughout the match.
So who are our other tagging midfielders when E. Curnow is not playing? And who can we turn to?
Matt Wright is one, but he's now our first choice small forward.
I like the thought of Cuningham or Williamson becoming taggers.
Sam Docherty might be another option as well.

Sheehan seems to be pretty strong and mentally tough. Not sure if he had the tank to run all day like Ed does?

Docherty? He's probably our most creative player.
Why would we use him as a tagger?

Because we're sacking Bolton and getting Pagan back?

Not for some years now. Anyway, do you have other options aside from E. Curnow who can negate the oppositions' best midfielder?

Anyway, I forgot to mention Lachie Plowman as well. Perhaps?

You don't change the things that are working well. There are plenty of other players on our list who don't have defined roles or haven't established a role for themselves. They're the ones to consider, not someone who is one of our few consistent winners.

Kerridge did a really good job on Sloane. Had 27 himself, although as usual his disposal and decision making let him down (went at 74% efficiency which actually surprises me). Sloan had 19 (at 68%). You'd take that from a tagger on the opposition's most dangerous mid any day.

I agree with the last bit.

Haven't you also considered that our backline is also our strongest part of the ground with by far the most depth where we can cover for Docherty's loss or move elsewhere?
There have been some on here who keep coming up with Doc's form and blast us for daring to suggest a move elsewhere. I ask them if they know that there are 22 players in the team that takes to the field and not just one. :roll:
Give us some names then Blue Vain. Who else tags outside E. Curnow?
