There is an interview up on the RFC site with DH and had one very interesting thing stand out to me;

the thing that the players are enjoying is having a game plan where they know what phases of movement we're trying to achieve at any given stage. I think the guys are making a lot better decisions. Early days they were rushing it a bit and getting a bit carried away with how quickly they wanted to move the ball, but they didn't realise that the ball actually moves a lot quicker by foot and hand than it does by running and carrying.

Poles apart from Wallace's run and carry plan. I also like the fact that he doesnt give to much away about the gameplan. Why should he?

Dimma and Leppa said our game plan was the 20 rule plan. 10 for the players and 10 for the team. And i think its a fair call he wants to keep as much under wraps as possible.

but they didn't realise that the ball actually moves a lot quicker by foot and hand than it does by running and carrying.

Yep, and it has clearly been evident in the last 5 or 6 weeks as we are 2nd in the comp for long kicks (handy when we have the best contested mark in league in Jack) and Lids is the number one all year in the comp for long kicks, and we are 3rd in the last 4 weeks for rebound 50s. Its exciting to see the ball rebound hard fast and direct. Wallaces side to side possession game in the back half, looks so old fashioned compared to Dimmas way.

And this from Edwards

"Dimma (Hardwick) has told us where he wants us to kick the ball in certain parts of the oval, so you know where to run if you want to get a kick.
"It's vice-versa with the defence. We know where we want them to have the ball.
"It's just a lot more in-depth than what I've had. You know the answers before we've actually got the football."
