Tigers brought no pressure and we easily controlled the ball. I'd say the Tigers only played a decent 15 minutes of football all night. We dominated the other 105 minutes. |

Maybe time to create a new nicks sub group called the black and white drunks!!!
After each match it will be a celebrate or commiserate event ....either way you can get drunk!
A win win situation.

If I was to raise one slight concern about last night it would be that despite dominating possession and dictating the manner in which the game was played for large periods Richmond were still in touch early into the last quarter.
You feel we ultimately didn't get the best value for all our effort across the first 3 quarters and it could have proved costly on another night.
Why did this happen?
I guess you have to give credit to Richmond who were tenacious in the face of the overwhelming discrepancy in numbers, the injury to Riewoldt and absence of Rance, Caddy and Houli.
I guess we shot ourselves in the foot giving up 3 red time goals in the 2nd quarter while we found new and unusual ways to ruin a goal scoring opportunity with that last play inside f50. We hit the post a few times also.
We were good but far from perfect.
I'm more interested though in exploring the style we chose to play the game in which was noticeably different to almost all of our matches last season and importantly was a change from our victory over Richmond in the Preliminary final.
If you believe the coach we wanted to implement this style last week.
If so we did a poor job of it.
So is this possession game our new style for 2019 which must be said resembled Hawthorn or will it only be rolled out for certain opponents?
It was a ballsy move implementing a game plan that was different to what successfully worked last time against Richmond but and this might be a controversial view, given the way the Tigers hung around we might not have beaten them this time around if we had of mimicked the Preliminary final processes.
They were ready for that.
They weren't prepared for what they got.
Nice work Mr. Buckley.

^^^^^
The trouble with last nights game plan is that when the conditions are cold hot wet frosty windy or very dewy then this precision game plan can come unstuck very quickly ditto the cats game.
When i went to our first practice game against melbourne it became quite evident that this was our new game plan.
Thursday night game was played in perfect conditions. |

It worked well enough for Hawthorn 3 years running.
Worth a try.

What matters is finals & the GF. When was the last cold wet windy GF? 2002?

Depends whether our guys have the skill, but something is needed for WC, which is probably why they're doing this.
Haw. recruited for kicking skills. Rich cannot change their game plan, because they have no skill and theirs is a game plan designed for that limitation.

Rich are not the main threat, unless Lynch gives them a huge boost. I never understood (apart from the Lynch factor) why they were still favourites with the media and the public after the PF. If their injury-free run was good management, then that would be their one real achievement. If it was just luck, then they rode their luck and stole a premiership. This season may show which it is. |

Well in the next 4 weeks at least we will see if they have any depth at all. Fancy playing jack in the ruck!

| Well, he didn't break anything in the ruck, but continuing to play him at all -- and at first without even taping anything -- was silly. |

I think we now have different styles we can play which is the mark of a very good football team. Interesting to see how we go against West Coast. I can’t wait to see my first game of the year at the MCG

And I have this thought for what it is worth
According to which side we play or the weather we encounter we can swap the team mix around with different players to suit the occasion
