I think the game just revolves around pressure and team defence too much now days, and why not when you consider it won the last two premiers their flags. It’s the way to give your team the best chance at a win, so of course the coaches will continue playing like that. Nothing the AFL can do about that.
I also reckon the quality of players has gone down hill though. A little over a decade ago you had genuinely great players like Ricciuto and Buckley and Judd and Goodes and Cox and Hird and Lloyd and McCleod and Voss and Harvey... I wouldn’t put anyone from the last decade in with those blokes besides Buddy and GAJ.
