Right now this group of blokes winning style of game is attack and quick ball movement. They do need to learn to slow the momentum when needed and when it’s appropriate. Hopefully this well be a lesson learnt.
Just watched the game now and that is what impressed me the most. It wasn’t just a case of guarding space, but they were applying so much pressure by closing that space quickly on the dogs. That takes a hell of a lot of effort. Very satisfying to watch.

The stagnancy seems to happen the whole ground over when things aren’t going the teams way. Coming out defence, there just seems to be no one moving or attempting to make space, the ball movement is at a snails pace. It becomes all too easy for oppo defences, especially ones as disciplined as...
