Someone had better remind Gil, Hocking et al. that they are CUSTODIANS of the game.
That is all. The game does not belong to them in any way, it is not their play thing.
I think the fact that the most kamikaze, mad-attacking side in the league in Richmond has won 3 of the last 4 flags tells us that there is no need to panic. The Tigers defend all the way up the ground instead of flooding, and then go bananas with breathtaking attacking moves as soon as the opportunity presents. You can't get better than that. Champagne attacking footy. Geelong 2007 another wonderful example.
It is when dour defensive sides are in the ascendancy like Swans 2005/2006, or chip-mark-starve-the-opposition-to-death-by-boredom teams like the current Cats side are winning flags, that's when we should worry.
