This stop, start, look for an option type footy, like we seem to play, is not like that anymore.

The Doggies, Freo and Eagles....all reasonably successful you must agree....play a play on at all costs type of game. Love it or hate it, that's the way it is today.

They always seem to have a runner alongside the ball getter, ready for a handball and are running at the same time, opening up all sort of forward opportunities. Why can't we be coached this way?? I am not a coach's bootlace, but I watch most of the games either live or on the box, and it is obvious to me that the style of game to win mayches today is the one where the team just runs and runs.

Is it the way we are coached, or do the players not heed TW's instructions. I have heard him say repeatedly, that is the type of game we were going to play. Watching the replay today, in the hard cold light of day, it appeared to me we just got the ball and propped most of the time. Seldom did I see a runner alongside or running past to take a handball. What am I missing here??
