2014 was a year dogged by extremely defensive coaching tactics and slow ball movement. Yet on Grand Final day (and throughout the season), it was fast ball movement and an all-out attacking mindset that won the Hawks the Premiership.
I now hope that other coaches can see the light and implement more attacking gameplan's for the good of the game. The Hawks played an exciting and entertaining brand of football all year, and it proved to be the most successful. Paul Roos, in particular, should take note that his ultra-defensive gameplan is dead; if he wants his team to have success (or at the very least, kick more than 7 goals on a regular basis), he needs to encourage them to move the ball fast and try to kick goals.
Attacking football is the way to go, not just for the fans, but also to achieve success.
