Everytime i saw a kick, mark, kick mark, kick mark from us tonight i couldnt believe my eyes.
I dont know why we chose to play like that tongiht. I do know that Johnno said that we were just trying to keep posession but thats not that type of football that has won us 9 games this season or finals last season.
Saints pushed numbers back tonight and theres no way to beat a flood, other then to break right through it. To run it at the, create the space for leading forwards. Chipping around gives more time for opposition to push back and deprive Johnno the space he needs to work with.
We kicked 9 goals for the first 110 minutes when chipping around and 4 goals in the last 10 minutes by running at all costs. Its clear which is more effective, lets hope we play dogs style of play-on football against the Dees and for the rest of 2007.
Tonight it seemed like we were playing in fear of loss instead of desire to actually win.
