Good news for us to get our man.
I wonder how long we've been working on this one or just how the opportunity came about.

Have to admit, watching some of those opposition review video's last season was a bit painful. They basically talk-up every average opposition player as though they're superstars. Not really much honesty in them.

The reality is we identify opposition "liabilities" and try to exploit them. For example, if there's a player who's a terrible kick, we'll zone off him so they'll give him more of the ball. If you want a classic example of this, watch what the Cats final V Weagles. They zoned off Gaff because they new he'd turn it over. These things are a little cruel, but it's the reality of opposition analysis. Admitedly you can't put that stuff on YouTube for obvious reasons. But it does go on.

It would be awesome to access to the real opposition analysis.

Good post Parrot, thoughtful insight.

Made me think of the way the opposition launched at McLean every time he got the ball in the games he has played with CFC, and always ran off him. Message was: the guy is slow, exploit him. They did and killed his career, barring a miracle this year (I believe in miracles...)

Also corral Carrots and make him run in circles, losing us momentum...
