Sydneys boring game plan

It's also worth bearing in mind that we rarely saw the team's 2 most attacking, "flairy" midfielders in full flight last year, which probably contributed to the sometimes dour style. If Goodes and Williams can recapture some of their 2003 approach the team will look a whole lot different.

I think you have hit onto something Liz. From memory somebody said they were going to change the ruck rules for 2005. Didn't Roos say that that would be a near guarantee of greater time for Goodesy on the ball. With his ability he is more than able to turn matches once he gets his confidence up, is fit and gets a few touches around the ground. Especially with Jolly to help him at Centre bounces, he could very well be the difference between efforts like the one at the Port final in 03 and the St Kilda final in 04.

Can somebody confirm that the ruck rules are going to be changed next season?

They are thinking about it and "might" trial new rules in the Wizard Cup and if successful introduce them for the Home and Away Season.
