As much as I love a good Beavis bashing I reckon the press really worked well for us last night. If we kicked even half respectably for goal it would've been a an easy win.
Especially against middling teams the press works well because it puts all the onus on the opposition spuds to hit targets. Very similar to what teams have been dong to us over the years. Worsold emphasised in his press conference that Essendon lost the game because they weren't skilled enough to get it out of defence.
I realise it's not pretty to watch, but it means we get to control the tempo.
Akso, I see a lot of people complaining about us bombing in the forward line too much, But it does actually suit our structure of having 4 crumbers in Rioli, Shai, Shank and George/Butler. It's also a vaste improvement on recent years idiotic plan of kicking to the dead pockets in order to get s throw in.
I actually reckon Reiwoldt let us down a bit last night. He got his hands to plenty but spilled marks he'd normally take.
