Not really a question we can answer yet and I'm certainly not calling it after one poor game but....
I though it might be worthwhile having a thread on the effect of the new rules on our game plan.
A few things to consider.
1. Our high press game plan is much harder to implement with the new rules.
2. Without the same pressure one one one defenders become more valuable and interceptors become less influential. Is Howard now more valuable than Aliir?
3. Charlie Dixon
excelled as the long bail out option in a crowded forward line, with the increased value on brining the ball to ground. Now the game has opened up forwards better at leading and kicking for goal become more valuable.
4. With the game opening up genuine tap ruckmen who can feed midfield thay can run into space become more valuable as opposed to war horses like Lycett.
5. With the game opening up and less rotations great runners and skilled kicks are crucial moreso than grunt midfielders like Rockliff, Wines, SPP and Drew.
The question is have we been stitcjed by these rule changes or can we adapt?
I think some of our younger guys will be well suited to the change in style (if it persists) like Georgie, Butters, Rozee etc. But we need them to go to the next level quick.
