I tell you what made the difference, they gave that stupid boundary hugging crap the ar5eholla. Let Murphy, Gibbs and Yarran actually play some football and went through the middle of the ground!
It was quite noticeable that none of the players were comfortable nor capable of hugging the boundary line but once they went down the corridor they looked like a team possessed.
The play was fluid, it was co-ordinated and they all ran for each other, and I'm pretty sure that was Ratten's style too.
They have done this 3 or 4 times this season, when they get off the negative football leash they improve 300%.
Either that or they are slow learners!
MMs old style game plan is like a boat anchor, he has improved the players defensive work rate but his negative game plan holds them back more than it helps them!
