6-6-6 rule will favour top centre bounce teams / Richmond ranked 14th (H-Sun)

[one-eyed]

“My gut-feel is a strong centre bounce team could dominate,” Gawn said.

The new rule could force some centre square tactical tweaks from some of last year’s top sides, including Collingwood (ranked 13th for centre clearance wins), Richmond (14th) and Geelong (15th), to try and secure more fast takeaways out of the middle.

Non-finalists Western Bulldogs (ranked fourth for centre clearances) and Carlton (fifth) will try to capitalise on their onball power this year.

What a crock of poo this article is.

So Collingwood (Grand Finalists), Richmond (Preliminary Finalists) and Geelong (Finalists) against WBulldogs (13th) & Carlton (18th).

"Strong Centre center bounce" teams don't matter anymore....

The better teams will either adapt to the new rules or find another way!
