Game plan 2.0?
- Thread starter Carter
- Start date
To keep port to 5 goals was very good.
Both teams burned opportunities in front of goal, port especially.

The ball lived in our forward line in the first quarter. After that we were beaten in the clearances...Carter said:
...But yes, we sat back a bit. Perhaps the next [r]evolution of the game is to hold the length of the ground more, to cut off the over-the-back cheapies that themselves were the counter to the press. Positional footy (albeit not as we knew it) might be on its way back! It'll suit us if so.Carter said:

Was just throwing it out there. I look at it like this-
The style of play we have put out for much of early this year and last year was awful to watch and agree it is high effort, low return. Now either Dimma thinks that what we see on the ground in those games is the way to win a flag, in that case he is an idiot, or the players havent been executing the way the gameplan is intended.
Put simply, i dont think Dimma is an idiot.
But like everyone else on here, its a theory. I have no way of knowing what is actually going on behind the scenes.
Played a back 6, which I think works for us as Rance, Grimes, Flossy and even Batchelor are good one on one players.
Thought Houli was pretty ordinary, big test for him going forward if he cant sag off in a back 7.
We did look much better but then again our style works against an attacking side that is low on confidence and down on skill.

Re: Hardwick game plan 2.0?
Its true.
If i could work out how to attach an image of the heat map you'd see you're right ... although watching the game it was pretty obvious.
59% in def half and the spread was predominantly wide and down one side of the ground.
Port pretty much 50-50 forward/def half

The commentators got it right I thought - let Port have the ball in the back pocket but attack the second ball out of defence by clogging up half back to the centre line and putting fierce pressure on the kicker and the receivers. Worked a treat for most of the game - stopped their running game out of half back and gave us multiple scoring opportunities from turnovers.
Sure Port beat us in the clearances but this is normally a strength for us, we sacrificed something to get a benefit elsewhere. Our tackle count also way up.
