Why is it that we get labelled as "flooders"????

I agree - of course it doesn't mean that. However, this was the argument presented.

Plugga was the main target, but for his position was still on the receiving end of the teams work. Baz creates more through his run around the ground - when it comes to the crunch they play different positions.

Yes. As to the first point, Damien noted that this actually supported the view of Eade being attacking.

Maybe more significant to look at forward 50 entries?

Yes, it would be a useful piece of data, but I don't have it.

Surely if it was an extension of the interchange, then it would work both ways, and not just to help rest players that could in theory go to the bench?

I mean that the extended interchange meant that players could run more hence are more likely to be able to run back into defence.

Pagan was not the only one to use the paddock - we use it to some extent now (see vs Weagles QF 2006) but flooding(aka loose men in defence) is a simple way to curb that tactic (see vs Weagles GF 2006)

Other clubs used it sometimes, but not enough to create a whole tactic against it IMO.

They'd work against the flood, too.

btw isn't "threads" a bit old fashioned hippy talk? And what part of his threads are you opening?
