The point of gameplay is to create a force that is greater than the sum of the parts.

Gameplay synchronises the actions of the 18 players on the field. If everyone did their own thing then that would lead to chaos. And although chaos does sometimes triumph over order, that is only under special conditions.

(Any quantum physicists on here who have more insight?)
 
Football is so simple, even i could play it. In fact they should try recruiting me next year, i'd be the next michael barlow.

Run, tackle anyone with the ball, get the ball, pass the ball off, get the ball back, kick a goal.
= Profit.
 
Imo a strict game plan is fine for some players, but others thrive playing on instinct alone. And with such players you don't want them second guessing about what to do with the ball. I believe the more talent you have, the reliance on a strict game plan is lessened. With a deep talent pool you can depend on the majority of the players to win the ball and use it effectively.

I can possibly envisage Bucks capturing the opposition forwards using an array of photon beams and then using a combination of laser bombardment, electro-magnetic encapsulation and near absolute zero refrigeration to force the opposition into a Bose/Einstein condensate,effectively rendering them stationary at the sub-atomic level, at which time we could run rings around them, but that's unlikely as he would probably be working at the LHC if that were the case..
 
There certainly is gameplan.

With Buckley being a new coach the implementing of those minor tweaks such as using the corridor among others is still very much in the formative stages and the players seem inbetween playing Buckley and Malthouse ball after having played for Malthouse for such a long time which I think is what you are getting at.

Give the players another year or two and the gameplan will become more clear and the players will look more comfortable playing it.
 
The game has evolved a little, the press has dropped off from all teams and we are generally seeing more coast-to-coast goals. We are getting a couple at the other end as well.

Watching on TV, it looks like more first kicks straight out 20 - 30 metres followed by quick longer kicks anywhere in a 'v' from there down the corridor. [If that makes sense].
