Lazy...  we deliberately changed mode to a different style.

Not sure where the idea comes from that this is an effort or desire based situation.

Its a tactical shift to a slower mode of playing.

Not sure where the idea comes from that it's lazy or based on a desire. They are clearly trying to play a different method that is not as contested and there is no practice like match practice.  Occasionally our opposition are forcing this to happen but that wasn't what happened yesterday.

Yes, Vossy explained that the loss of our two key forwards necessitated a change in gamestyle as we jury-rigged a forward line and second ruck.  Silvagni was also in the rooms for a while after a late, high hit.  I suspect that he was undergoing a HIA.  We had McGovern in defence and Williams as our “tall” forward.

I went to the game WC let us do whatever we wanted for 1.5 quarters and after we were about 55 points up we then got incredibly lazy and arrogant with our disposal. We stopped making good positions and kicked to contests that we just expected to win and didn’t. No respect for opposition at all in this case but WC showed heart in second half something we don’t appear to have. I went to north game as well and they will beat us and they know it.

Doesn't sound like I missed much; I was in hospital with a cracked rib and didn't follow a second of the game.
I'll look at the replay today as I recover, but it sounds like the only thing I missed was Charlie's injury. :(

Recover quickly...
Just watch the first quarter. ;)
...and stay away from the footy shows this week. ::)
