Forwards head where they are offered space, the skill is to make use of it wherever it becomes available.
When we got run off the D50 we went straight up the guts multiple times, especially highlighted by a few of Williams line breaking disposals. When the Aints managed to slow us up we went around the boundary line but not always.
Labelling that as a deliberate change of tactics at best seems somewhat arbitrary.
We had forward dominance nearly all game, despite Kemp and SoJ not clunking marks they were nearly always first hands on the pill when appropriately targeted, deliberately slowing up our transition would be a coaching death knell. If Kemp and SoJ had clunked 50% of their chances we'd have won by 6 goals. We were so dominant at times the Aints kept sending Membrey back to fill the gaps!
What I did see in the game which is attributable directly to Voss is far less panicked disposals.
That's pretty much how I saw it LP; corridor unless there's no other option. When we did go down the wings (usually well inboard of the boundary), many of our forward 50 entries were 45 degree kicks to around true CHF or a bit closer to goal.
I'd categorise Vossy's game style as high risk, high reward but only when the risk isn't too high.

BigH may well have to work harder under Voss, on repeat efforts, but when he gets his chances it is likely they will be cleaner.

One thing with Nthmond's run and gun manic pressure type game is that they have to commit 100% to moving in one direction as a swarm. A patient team that is prepared to yoyo the ball around can probably run them into the ground with direction changes. It will be interesting to see how the rule changes affect Nthmond, because their tackling and dumping tactics could almost get interpreted as a type of delaying. Historically whenever they started to get panelised for it the umpires were been publicly bullied into letting them get away with it by Dimma's eternal media bleating to "Just let them play!"

Thanks - the coach and Greg Williams both saying he’s had a great pre-season and a number 3 pick and he’ll be fighting for a spot? A bit odd
