2019 attacking game

[ozph1870]

Should be more attacking. Minimize possession, move the ball a lot quicker...
We still have a lot of 2015-18 bad habits we need to eradicate.

Clearly we aren't that attacking if we can only get 50 odd inside 50s against a average VFL side.

The attacking aspects of the game we have played have been great to watch when well executed. Independent (ie not Port or crows) supporters I work with think our footy is very entertaining. The playing group are still learning Monty's team defence and will get better at defending (and attacking) as they continue to execute the skills and structures needed in games.

It was fascinating listening to Nathan Buckley on the weekend talk about how much the game has changed from last year to this year. He acknowledged his Collingwood side has looked very defensive during stretches of games so far this year. Buckley said his players are still adjusting to the balance between attack and defence in the 2019 game plan. And this team played in last year's grand final.

Attacking fast footy shown can be assertive, energetic and proactive. Like the way the players run for each other and the solidarity in the celebration circle after the game.

I am enjoying the more take the game on port this year. Kicking to the forward pocket for a throw in frequently might have been playing the percentages etc but....dont know how successful the attacking game will be, but prefer wins that way. Prefer any comments not to bust just dumps on coaches administration.
