1. Less turnovers either from kicks and/or from handballing when we have the ball in possession.
2. More accurate goal-kicking (and perhaps more practice at training).
3. A far more aggressive and involved Travis Cloke who is prepared to work much harder especially when the opposition has possession of the ball.
4. Leon Davis playing 100 minutes of intense football.
5. Nathan Brown showing a bit of form and keeping up with his opponent/s.
6. Overall the team straightening up and trying to bring the ball into the corridor especially from the half-back line onwards when going forward.
7. The forwards generally putting much more pressure on their opposing backmen when the ball is in the forward line.
8. Finally, Mick Malthouse being prepared to be pro-active in terms of making positional changes when things are not working rather than being continually reactive to changes being made by the opposition brains-trust.
Am I being far too optimistic?
