smart man that oneSomeone posted last night that CJ seems to be getting the frees that Lynch struggles to. I do wonder if that media assassination of Lynch did have an impact. Whatever it’s nice to get frees i50 for a change.

Lost me at Eagles mateI had an Eagles mate ask my if we'd paid the umps last night. He's one of these knowledgeable ones that still think the umps love us.
We all know they’re up to something Willo. They don’t fool me for a second.Bastards did it again! They’re still trying to throw us off our game by paying us free kicks.
Theatre type, can't trust em.Lost me at Eagles mate
Yes I must take more notice too whom‘s shout it is whilst drinking with those typesTheatre type, can't trust em.
Did I miss a shout?Yes I must take more notice too whom‘s shout it is whilst drinking with those types
I wouldn’t have a clue , Taz an I could have solved the worlds pollution problems with the amount of times we’ve put into working out who’s shout it is , lol I think some weeks I shout 15 rounds , some weeks haven’t got the card out of my pocketDid I miss a shout?
I thought you previously said it was because Lynch and Pickett were out. Or was that just last weeks game?We had 380 disposals last night, third most all season, our kick to handball rate is higher, third most kicks we've had all season. Contested possession down, uncontested possession way up. Uncontested marks way up.
There's no doubt we have changed our style significantly in the past two weeks and it most closely matches what we did against the Bulldogs. I think we picked something up from that game and have run with it, because those three games are distinctly different statistically to just about everything we have done over the past few years.
And guess how we went in the free kick count each time?
You could be right. Let's see if these x and y align from now on.We had 380 disposals last night, third most all season, our kick to handball rate is higher, third most kicks we've had all season. Contested possession down, uncontested possession way up. Uncontested marks way up.

If you ask me if it's game style or the barely even a criticism, wet lettuce leaf Hardwick used in the Brisbane game, I know what my money is on.
Still skeptical, we had 7 of our worst 9 offenders on the park and got a better than average run.I've always said it's a combination of individuals and the team approach. But if the team style changes then so does a lot of the individual styles as well. Like if we make a decision to kick to uncontested targets more, it changes the whole landscape of the game.
Not having Nankervis in the side will always boost your free kick differential because he attacks players ferociously and is a bit clumsy and that will always lead to the odd free kick. Same with Pickett.
I don’t think we have changed that much with the only thing that I can see is a decision to not kick down the line as much and replace it with possession and switch. That would account for high marks and high kicks which translates to high possession .We had 380 disposals last night, third most all season, our kick to handball rate is higher, third most kicks we've had all season. Contested possession down, uncontested possession way up. Uncontested marks way up.
