Again with the insipid start. Seems a good start from us is the exception, not the rule.
This is a very undisciplined group, with little to no desperation/ruthlessness or initiative.
We look our best when opponents tire a little, because when opponents are fresh and applying deep pressure, we resort to type...surrender - just cannot and do not push back immediately, two fold (let's not pressure the opposition with strong tackles... nuh). We seem to like it 'easy' and nice and offensive. Soft? Certainly between the lugholes.
The midfield coaches obviously took over the reins again for this game.
Mighta worked for Adelaide to have 3 talls up forward but it sure doesn't work for us... H should not have played last night - too top heavy on a fast track against a fast team.
The Juddmeister needs to talk more with Crippa about how to handle tags early and how to be ready from the get-go.
Ratts sure is a terrific tactician and game day coach, gets the best out of his group - has learned well. The TT is still learning but had better get a wriggle on. Should be a fckn huge magnifying glass put on the midfield coaches.
The players seem to love a greater emphasis on attractive, offensive footy and the bruise free element that comes with it.
