Opinion Controlling the tempo

[wicksy]

Not sure if this has been discussed here yet but in the first 5 minutes against West Coast, there was a distinct change in the way we moved the ball. We chipped the ball around, playing keepings off, having probably the first 20 possessions before the opposition touched it.

This controlling of the tempo let us pile on the first 2-3 goals before West Coast scored.

In my opinion, it was a incisive change in our game plan and for my money, it worked.
It was disappointing to see that, like in the North game, we started well, got in front and then fell back into our old, non-structured ways.

Did anyone else notice? What were your thoughts?

It was quite obvious, and seemed to work.

But old habits die hard I guess.

In before we do this every minute of every game in the finals and win every game by 50+ points...

Yeah bucks is only testing it out, we've done it for 3 quarters this year and rampaged the opposition. He plans to fully lock it into place come finals and the opposition will be stunned.

He's trying to fool everyone into thinking we are shit and then BAM.

This new game plan shall be called the FIGJAM Press.

That's exactly right! I hope that's what they call it. Buckley's balance? pffft.

The old "lul them into a false sense of security tactic, whilst risking top 4 ambitions so nobody calls your bluff". I like it
Seriously though, I wouldn't mind seeing it more
