NAB Challenge: Syd v Melb

[johnno]

Low scores again. From what I have seen most games have been low scoring. I heard a commentator on the radio saying teams are playing a moving defensive, rolling, zone press as in the Hawthorn style...aka...flooding. Another said an 18 man defensive zone. Funny how when it is not the Swans idea that it becomes legitimate and non boring to the scribes.

You just wonder how long it will be before low scores and boring footy gets AD off his expanding clacker and condemns it.

Exactly what I thought Nico, lets wait and see if the so called football experts bag the crap out of the hawks for introducing this game style the same way they bagged the swans And Roos for our game style a few years ago, bet they dont. All I can say is get ready for a boring and low scoring season people, if what we have seen so far is any indicator. The only good thing to come out of it is we might get a lot of close games going down to the wire.

I feel vindicated for my reaction to watching the Colliwobbles v Tigers the other night. My though during the game was, "If this is 2009 football, I won't be watching a lot of it this year."

My first post at RWO and sorry if i step on a toe or two but I cant agree with everyone assessment.

Goodes was sensational and if he keeps up this form could have a great season.

Welcome.
I agree with that, so you're off to a fabulous start!!

Yeah we were - only prob was that it often wasn't to players in space running the lines but more just handballing around like a hot potato to players in worse positions and under pressure.

Handballing into traffic?
The Swans?

No way. I don't believe it.

It's a reference to Ben Moore.

An Englishman who has been in brought in to manage the skills learning process noty teach it. This ones a little out there for me.
