What I loved best about this win was the Swans inability to execute in F50.
We held them to 77 pts on a perfect day in March. Round 3.
They would slice us through the middle after Q1 but our D50 structures were able to neutralise most of the ball coming in.
Midfield pressure of course helped, but structurally we stayed “long” all day.
You need good footskills and huge work rate to transition the ball whilst maintaining cover in D50. You also need to understand space and what the MCG offers tactically.
Work rate has never been an issue, but our kids are all pretty good kicks now. This is why Banks, Sonsie, Brown will continue to get games.
I really like what Yze is cooking. It’s the kind of gumbo we haven’t seen at Punt Rd for many a year, perhaps ever.
