Our brilliant-minded coach went into the Geelong game with pretty much the same game plan as the Melbourne game; avoid their intercept defenders (Stewart) at all costs by going wide and short, with no real intent to score. Inevitably, as per the Melbourne game, it opened up after half time and we got smashed. Hinkley is a no trick pony, bereft of ideas and footy nous.
And the Brisbane game. Where he thinks the opposition is better than us, he resorts to slow-moving possession game plan because he wants to deny the opposition the ball. This throws mobile key forwards under the bus as they don't know when or where to lead. The opposition dutifully dumps ruckmen and mids back to clog up our forward line and help out their key defenders.
It's such a defeatist strategy, whatever happened to brave football and fast exciting play? A sad and distant memory. Take them on, dare to win.
