I thought, early in the season, that we were kicking more to one on one contests and taking chances. Something did change, and it affected the way we played. Do the players themselves go back to the safety first, default style that RoLy bought from the Saints/Swans, and used to get Freo competitive? Is their another stage in the development of a style of play that will give us a flag?
Our very best, no matter what style we play will beat the best of the teams in the game. In the modern game you only need to be a couple of percentage points off your very best to lose, in the past good teams could win against mid to lower teams playing at 75/80 percent of their best, giving the opportunity to manage a season. Taking the chances when they occur, and having a little luck with injuries and rub of the green is where the game is at between the top teams nowadays.
