The response was "it's different this year, the way they're playing is sustainable, it's solid".
It isn't. It needs tweaks, and if we don't tweak we will be staring down the barrel of 10th place.
We had no structure at all last year
We blitzed in quarters- King against Cats etc off a quarter here or there
What we have seen this year is far more discipline
I’d argue that gave last year under Ratten we would not have been 20 points in front with 10 to go
The proofs in the blowouts
I’m not arguing we are perfect but to suggest it’s just the same as last year is looking at W/L in isolation and ignoring the way we play now to then
We’ve got cattle issues for sure
But it’s Lyons system which has seen us play more than 1 quarter and be in a ganes bar 1
As he said in his presser - he coaches action
Players on field IF they don’t play or chat play to that action then he’ll have to turn em over
That tells me what we are seeing is not what’s being instructed
Maybe we are seeing guys but their ceiling who just can’t do it week in week out …that’s ok but find out now is my criticism
