Thank you Mungo Mulligan Stew those comments from Rosco are a perfect summation of my thoughts on where we stand and my concerns for 2016 and beyond under Buckley.
I'll wait and see what our response is over the next month, but my gut feel is that going into our shells and shutting things down isn't going to be the best course of action. The main reason being I'm not sure you can just flick the switch and go back the other way once we've ground out a few wins...

I know the Eagles are way ahead of us but what I saw last night was a mixture between dour and exciting football from WCE.
When Richmond had the ball in the back half, WCE locked them down and choked them. When Rich got free, the delivery was either shit because they had no where to go or inferred pressure got the better of them. So when Richmond had the ball, the game was a dour affair until WCE it got it. At about the 15 minute mark of the first term, I didn't want Richmind to get the ball at all because frankly, the game was dour. When WCE had it, an entirely different affair. At times, if the ball was turned over through an effective tackle or a botched handball, one or two quick handballs from WCE and the game opened up perhaps as a result of the Tiges not being able to reset.
So in effect, when Buckley was talking dour and locking down, he many not have been talking about 'shitting down' the entire affair.
Posters/Bloggers that say Buckley's comments demonstrate that he doesn't know what he's doing has got me stuffed.
