It certainly seems as though tactically we are battling to combat what the other teams are doing, BUT I think we also need to consider the context of the side that was fielded. Missing were 3 of last season's top 4 in the B&F (Davey, Hardiman, Loynes) as well as Harris. I appreciate Brennan and Huntington were both missing for the Dogs, but with list depth still wafer thin across all AFLW teams taking 2, 3 or 4 of the best players out of any team is going to have a much bigger impact than it would should the same thing happen in a men's game.
Gee and Brazzale were also missing so 6 out all up....still it wasn't good
