I think you will find near all the Eagle facebook page followers predicted we would finish top 2 and win the premiership this year oh and 2007.2008.2009.2010.2011.2012.2013.2014
 
The game has certainly changed. One strategy is no longer good enough, no matter how good it is. You have to be able to move the ball down the ground along and across all lines without the ball carrier getting isolated. You need to be able to play man-on-man and zone defense, as well as being able to implement spare man/men and you need to be able to orchestrate the change from one set up to another seamlessly. That's what makes the Hawks so good and I suspect it's why Freo may be sliding.
swing hunter to the forward line..win
 
My how the game has and continues to change. It changes through out the year.
A lot of this is coaches trying things out to see what works against different clubs and game plans untill everyone settles in to the winning formula for the year and then go about emulating it.

Simmo and the coaching staff are ahead of their time and experience. I see most clubs already and certainly next year adopting 'the web' and searching Mars for the next Nic Naitanui.
It isn't something that can be taught mid year and you need the players to pull it off.
They have to be commited to the idea and to helping out eachother or it's destined to fail.

The web works so well for many reasons.

-Everyone runs to the closest point in the web from where they are with minimal crossing of players or confusion of match up's.
This ensures everyone is running less distance and stay fresh longer and know who's directly around them.

-The web is our prefered around the ground set up .
with the backs furthest from the ball, forwards closest to our goal and the mid's inbetween.

-The web evolves quicker than the opposition can work out a way around it.
the man with the ball is the only decision maker for the opposition, the web has 22 decision makers.

-Visually if you look at the web on freezeframe the moment we take posession of the ball in our backline.
you will notice that if you turn every player 180 so they are now facing the soon to be path of the ball almost everyone of our players is now goalside of their opponent with space around them left by the gaps in the web.


In Simmo we trust :hearts:


EDIT: Just realised this should be in the SIMMO thread.
My prediction for this year was a 5-7 finish and maybe one final win. Pleasantly surprised.
