After the game against Collingwood Bailey Smith was interviewed and was asked how is it determined which player goes into the centre bounce.

Smith answered the players work in pairs and it is up to the pairs who attends. Smith is partnered with Treloar - which makes sense considering their similar strengths.

On Friday night our CBA numbers were;

Sweet 20, Macrae 16, Liberatore 16, Bontempelli 14, Treloar 12, Smith 11, Dunkley 6 and Cordy 5.

Last week Melbourne against Saints CBA were Petracca 23, Oliver 21, Viney 20, Gawn 14, Jackson 12, Sparrow 10, Harmes 3, Neal-Bullen 1.

Last night Lions rotated through Neale 25, McInerney 17, McCluaggae 16, Lyons 16, Zorko 10, Fort 10, Rayner 8, Bailey 6.

Yes, it is only a small sample size but it does seem that the coaching group prefer to mix it up.

Woofers what are your thoughts; are you happy with our approach of mixing it up or would you prefer we are more stable with our approach?

As I’m a sucker for punishment I took one for the team and here is the GF CBA breakdown
