The other thing we should have done was manage the game better in the first quarter when Richmond got a run on. We need to hold onto the ball find the short options and not over-handball - which Bolton rightly pointed out invites pressure. Control the tempo and avoid getting run off your legs chasing tail.

It's obvious to say this results from deficiencies in player experience and skill, but some of it is due to deficiency in training as well.

I found it abhorrent that MM nursed young players through pre-season to avoid collision injuries, it just slows progress in the critical areas of skill development.

You must train the way you want to play, or you'll end up playing the way you train!

Malthouse like him or not knows a thing or two about developing talent.

He's managed to senior coach many into performers.  He just didn't do much of it with us.

Regarding stopping the opposition when they get a run on, you need composure to do that, and we were shell shocked for the first quarter.  Limited runners and time on field contributes to that.

It also doesn't help that the 6-6-6 rules are conducive to shoot outs.
