In the last fortnight we have played Dusty, Cochin and Prestia sparingly with them spending roughly 70-75% on the ground (with a large chunk of Dusty's time up forward v Lions).
With that in mind, I am now wondering if this has been a deliberate strategy to have them unleashed through the midfield and play max minutes tomorrow (Dusty was near 90% r1)?
Buckley isn't a renowned tagger and will most likely back in his key mids vs ours - By comparison, Collingwood's 3 key mids last 2 rounds don't have the same minutes as a %, it's been roughly mid 80's which converts to them playing an extra quarter of playing minutes in the past 2 weeks.
Another angle to look at coaching tactics leading into the game tomorrow
