Round 2 - Other Games

I can just picture the smug Carlton supporters at the ground sinking in their seats thinking here we go again. Another *smile* season!

This is insane footy. Virtually no defence at all. Looks like 1987. Kick long contest, hanger, ball to ground, crumbers crumb, runners run. Bizarre. I refuse to believe it's all down to one rule change. Dunno if it will suit us long term.
Agree. Not sure this suits us (yet anyway). Been saying this the last 2 weeks or so.

Sides have finally learnt they cannot match Tigers unless they adopt our style..that is...play on at all costs , run, carry, handball forward and kick to one on ones.
What we are seeing is other sides playing our way...but...they are not providing defensive effort.
Little effective tackling. Not much running to defensive 50.
Hence at times they look likei sides playing practice games.

The new rule is not doing this but is allowing a defensive player to be out of the game briefly, hence aiding open forward lines if attacking is done fast.
 
Is Patrick Cripps carrying something, or does fast paced footy make him look like Mick Nolan after Xmas dinner?

Go fast, they can't setup. We have the advantage of knowing what works against us, so hopefully we can evolve to quickly remain #1 at stopping our opposition.
 
On queue Cox collapses like a daddy long legs after the slightest touch, and receives the free.

Wasn't sure who I wanted to win this match. Predict the AFL Ladder 2021 comp comes in handy during these confusing matches, Go Blues !
 
Feels like I'm torn between Satan and Adolf Hitler. Somebody will lose. That's good
