    Umm. I would have thought Simon Goodwin would be worth tagging. I've always been a fan of Tyson Edwards, but I don't know if he is worth a tag based on this years performance.

      Goodwin seems to be mainly playing as a forward now.

        Scott Thompson is a gun. Stop him and you go a long long way to stopping the Crows. Seems like a perfect role for Noggy.

          Let's hope we're not that defensive.

            I'd say that tagging their best midfielders is standard operating procedure, not being overly defensive.
            I was wrong about Gerard and his hair.

              No, it's only where there are one or two people who are fundamental to the team's success from clearances. If there are 4 or 5 people who share the load almost evenly, there's no point.

              We aren't going to be tagging Nathan van Berlo, Michael Doughty, Chris Knights or Scott Thompson. At least I hope not. And as Lohengrin said, Goodwin has been playing up forward. I don't underestimate the Clones as a unit-- they're very strong if on song (which they haven't been for weeks, of course). They just don't have individual standouts like Carlton do.
