Sydney the modern footballer is expected to do it all, like Kirk, Carr, Roger James, McLeod. We have too many types that can't do it, including Stevens and aKouta, and definitely Campo. You wanting to blame the young taggers is not right - yes they should be better players but the problem is across our midfield, not just Wiggins, Bannister, Sporn etc.
All clubs have designated taggers and that is all they do - The ones we have are no good. Kouta Campo and Stevens are not taggers . If clubs did not have these taggers why would the AFL be worried about this

Kouta Campo and stevens get enough of the ball to hurt the opposition the only problem is they are doing it accross half back because the others are not doing there bit. Pagan should have had Bentick - simmo - Blackwell and even russell in this side more often - as leaving them in the resevres is only slowing the improvement. He gave Walker a run with role this year -Walker is of the Kouta -stevens Campo mould - this is where DP gets it wrong - Now Walker is in the twos his confidence has probably taken a belting and the kid will now have to start all over again. Dropping him to the twos this late in the season will serve no purpose other than mess with his head. this idea that players have to be a complete package is a load of bollocks. the game hasn't changed that much they just run more. Some players are forwards ,some are backs some are flashy midfeiders and some are dour midfeilders . Vary rarely do you get the Brisbane situation of Aka - Black - Lappin and even then Aka and lappins defensive work are questionable.
