Playing to strengths
I listened to the call via 3AW / MMM at AFLcom
What I have heard is little change to our style. We still seem to turn over the ball so much at Half forward that lets Sydney into the game.
At one stage the caller said "Sydney wants the Saints to go long to make the game into 1 on 1 contests". Surely this would be good for the game spectacle and would allow forwards to to perform.
If we continue to react to defense tactics like Sydney's in the way done today, dont expect a top 4 spot.
The reason will be that the team will be too tired by the season's end and we potentially will get overrun by good teams (just like last year).
I want to see this change. Take a risk Ross, we still dont havbe the midfield legs to play this style all year. We need to score goals to keep up the motivation and crowd attendance.

Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency
