No pressure today - How should we play ?
Big ground.
Sunny September afternoon.
No win/loss pressure.
Why not mix it up a bit.
Take some risks.
Move the ball straight down the middle.
Exploit the marking skills of our 3 key forwards.
ie kick to one on one contested mark situations, rather than play "keepings off".
No backward or sideways chipping.
No flooding.
Try and win 140 to 100.
Rather than 70 to 50 (where we never make a game safe).
Take intelligent risks that exploit our strengths.
And make it enjoyable for the players to play.
And enjoyable for us to watch.

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

We have won 8 in a row against Richmond - our best run against them.
Today will be number 9.
Tanking is not in our vocabulary.
Pressure OFF might just mentally free us up to take some risks and play the sort of footy we have been too scared to play.
And give us hope for 2008.

If we play an illegal player we might have all our points taken away.wolfpup wrote:stuff it lets tank, we may as well get the highest draft pick possible.
