Re: Game plan.
Definitely moving the ball more quickly, which unsettles the opposition when we are on the move. It's positive and aggressive - I like it.
Backline is setting up well. The press is being used.
Poor DELIVERY from the middle of the ground is forever our archilles heel.

I'm not smart enough to know anything about game plans. But it was really good to see us get on a roll in the last quarter last week. Haven't seen that much in the last couple of years.

It was originally Barassi's tactic for the 1977? Grand Final.

Seems to work a treat.
I'm just happy Richo stuck to it this week.

Re: Game plan.
And another roll last night, this time for the entire second quarter. For the last few years we haven't been able to score quickly even if everything went right. It may not be a style which wins finals but at least it's fun to watch.bergholt wrote:I'm not smart enough to know anything about game plans.

Re: Game plan.
Our game plan is fine but Richo doesnt put enough weight on kicking.
How can he use Geary as the plus one in defend? You need your best kick in this position not your worst.

It worked alright for Geelong and even the Hawks just moved it too fast to get hands on the ball.
