Agree..stopping run ons isnt one of our strong points and a quarter of fancy GWS footy with their talent is probably a winning one.
A lot of that is leadership and its up to Cripps, Docherty and Simpson etc to direct traffic as well as the coach to make moves to slow the game down and adjust to swings in momentum.
EB we dont look very good when we slow it down, that one of the problems. When we try and possess it, switch it or go for the angle kick, we regularly hit an oppo player or put our intended target under immense pressure and the turnover comes. And its not just the young kids fluffing it. We seem to be very good or at least better at the faster transition and ball movement with only the second last or last kick I50 being the problem.
