How will West Coast's Jeremy McGovern navigate the AFL's new rule changes?
Many experts have said the new starting positions, or the"six-six-six" rule, will quell the influence of McGovern because he must be more accountable.
The rule applies to starting positions at centre bounces and requires teams to have six defenders and six forwards within each arc, and six midfielders between the arcs."On the weekend we probably did find it a little bit hard," he said. "I think as a whole back six we are a very good intercepting team, [but] on the weekend we did struggle with it a bit, but it is something we will learn from and have a look at."
McGovern finished last season with 77 intercept marks, breaking the previous record of 76 from Western Bulldogs' Easton Wood in 2015.
