I never ceases to amaze me the lengths people will go in order to convince themselves that everybody else who doesn't agree with them is wrong.
If the game plan leads to repeated failures, then problem is the game plan.
Just because other sides can 'bomb it into the forward line' and win doesn't make it a successful or credible game plan. If you do it and it fails repeatedly, then its not its not a winning process.
Jezza, you are only seeing what you want to see because the alternative is accepting the coach isn't always right and has limitations. Adelaide do 'bomb it in' at times they also more commont look for marking targets like Walker and Betts.
We looked for marking targets in the first half yesterday and won that. We stopped looking for forward targets in the second half and lost that.
The Western Bulldogs spent the first half 'bombing it in' against Adelaide on Saturday night and despite holding almost complete dominance in the second quarter watched the ball repeatedly coming out of their forward 50 for almost no return.
Sure, we can pretend that Roly is a little tin god on wheels and keep bombing it in because we have little or no forward structure and we watch all those lovely McGovern intercept marks just like last time. That or we can learn from our past failures and actually look for a player on a lead and stop giving the ball away.
Personally, I'm all about learning from and not repeating past mistakes rather than twisting myself into pretzels trying to avoid blaming the coach
