Turning Point

[Go Swannies]

A Brisbane friend bought our tickets for the game last weekend and it was high in the stands. And because of my work I have $2000 binoculars that I used to watch the Swans huddle at 3/4 time. Roos was very calm as he talked to the whole team then they split into their various forwards, midfield, etc groups. At that stage Roos went over to the players board and made a large number of positional moves. It looked like about eight players or more were being moved. Then, just before they ran back onto the field, they were all brought together and given instructions by Roos and some of them seemed almost bemused by what he was saying.

When the final quarter started I got so caught up in the excitement that I never really looked to see what changes were made. Were there a heap? Or was he merely indicating the runs they were to take? Whatever he said or how he changed the plan, it worked. Any ideas?

"Ok guys time to suprise the Lions. I want you to - Kick the ball towards the goals"

The most significant one was LRT to the goal square.

And Bevan into the forward line as well.

Buchanan was on the bench a lot I noticed.

Turning point was the first bounce after half time when either Jolly or Ball (can't remember which one) stood there and tried to thump the ball forward. Blight picked this up very quickly on the coverage.

While the turnaround in the third quarter didn't show on the scoreboard it laid the seed for the last. As soon as we started to break up the stoppages and clear the ball quickly to our advantage our leg speed gave us the game.
