great post100%. You go into a game with a vision of game plan, how every individual will play and how you want to play the game. Sometimes that works out, sometimes it doesn't.
The thing is Brad Scott changed the game with his new rules quite a lot. There have been fundamentals in the game for 15 years that coaches have had to move away from which is not always easy. Teams are doing things now that in the past you just do not do. I don't think I have seen the ball go into the middle and get turned over in the middle as much as this in a very long time.
I think a few coaches had their own visions of how the game would be played and won with the rule changes. I think Collingwood's coaching group nailed it and that's the big reason they are up the top. They have been playing that brand for longer than any other team. I think we had a vision and it failed in a fairly big way and we have done something very difficult. Change game plan mid season and a lot of that is changing mentality and what you do instinctively on the field. A lot of that is dumping some teams rules. A lot of clubs would have had the rule of not risking a turnover in the middle a year or two ago. That's been the way for 15 years and it's gone now. Means changing players habits.
