Consider for a moment, where we were, 12 months ago today...
Yup, we'd just beat Geelong - perhaps our best win for 2019.
However, our previous 8 weeks hadn't been too flash....some beltings, some narrow losses....but - most importantly - a miserable game plan that 'stifled all hope'.
And things deteriorated very much from the 1st week of August 2019.
12mths on ...despite some floggings, despite some injuries....for the first time in a very long time, we have 'hope'!!
Tabs is clunking (and kicking ) 'em. He now has a simple game plan to follow that revolves around him staying in the forward line.
We have young fellows being able to be freevto exhibit their natural skills - I was so pleased for Mitch Crowden yesterday....
We are building a backline thats gonna be 'as tough as tungsten,' but flexible too....I really like Watson & Duman yesterday, and Ryan is showing them how to 'battle on' when out of your depth'....
And we have a team that are being allowed to learn 'what's right' & 'whats wrong' rather than being told that there's only 1 way....
The ball movement & skills where as good as we've seen yesterday. Yep, there was some stuff ups...but we are building...and starting to build very quickly.
Well done JLo !!
