IMO it is the 1%ers as they are known. Eg Shepherding (we'd have to be the worst in the comp??), cutting off leads (gaspar et. al. wouldn't look nearly as bad if we got in the way of the leading fwds, like we did when he was an All Aust'n), putting pressure on midfielders as they are kicking to the opposition fwds rather than giving a token chase (at least Rodan, Hartigan and Tommy R give that a go), running in numbers (like the Swans do) and keeping the ball locked in our fwd line.
The lack of this kinda stuff is a sign of a 'team' who is playing for self rather than team. that's why some of the so called 'duds' would do very well at other clubs that are unselfish and play for each other, it makes EVERYBODY look good. IMO our playing list would double in quality if they all took this stuff on board (although granted the skills still leave a lot to be desired, but you dont have to be skilled to do the above).
