I agree RW but I don't think we've remained entirely static. The biggest statistical difference between us and the Dawks is in conversion, 52% vs 59%. As far as inside 50s go there's very little difference (56 v54 average). We are getting the ball to our forwards, albeit we could be a lot better, but we're not converting. The Freo final was the most wasteful of all at 5.18, yet I don't see what Horse can do about that other than buy all the forwards a barn to practice on at home.Good post, bungee. I guess the counter-argument would be that outside coaches have played a big part in our success too, Leigh Tudor played a role in helping us win in 2012 and since leaving us has helped North reach the last two preliminary finals. So yes, while I think it's important to reinforce the culture and values that helped us achieve ultimate success, the game is always changing, and you do need to keep up with the tactics that the top coaches are using.
