We'll play a different way.
Not all these guys we recruited last night will be ready to go
But those we've traded for will be.
Not doubting that. Point i was attempting to make is....how quickly can you get a group to learn an entirely new game plan....especially when some of the group hasn't even returned to training yet AFAIK, and the list hasn't been finalised.
I expect bolts to work quick, but that's warp speed!

All he needs to do over the season is show some improvement and show us a plan that fits the playing group and is a plan the group embrace

4 wins and a percentage of 65%. The bar is pretty low but I suspect the club wouldn't be too fussed with around about the same result.
Re: A New Game plan - Lods - 11-25-2015
We'll go better than that based on nothing more than a bit of stability

Dont expect it to change much either...the reality is SOS will want another batch of early draft picks for next seasons draft to get some more A grade quality into the club...

Bolton has obviously outlined some type of general plan.
He would no doubt have worked closely with Silvagni in the time he's been at the club.... so they would have formulated a strategy as to the type of players to fit Bolton's plans.
Just looking at the draft selections and you get a feeling they may be looking at a Hawthorn 2004 type of rebuild.
One of the videos of training (perhaps the Jaksch interview) shows players in the background being walked through a play on the indoor footy ground. I suspect a lot of work is being put into changing the way we have played over the past few seasons, and so there should be.

SOS's requirements may have to take second place to the club's need to improve attendances, memberships, TV scheduling, sponsorship and credibility.
I thought SOS's comment about the club not wanting more No 1 draft picks gave an indication that we're anticipating improvement. Of course, he also hosed down expectations.

I see new game plan as mostly a platitude. I hope the emphasis is more on working as a team and a relentless focus on skills. If you don't do these things well then no particular style of play is going to make much difference. I never thought the Malthouse kick it along the boundary style was much of a problem in itself. If players had the skill and work rate where it needed to be then it would have gone unnoticed. Game plans and styles get alot of attention, but we seem to accept and excuse professional players being unable to kick off both feet.
Most of all, the club has to set higher standards in all areas. The club must make the all important transition from a coach setting expectations for the players, to a genuine team where all participants ask more of each other.
Re: A New Game plan - Thryleon - 11-25-2015
Most of the teams play the same way anyway. The only thing that changes is context.
I noticed that Hawthorn moved the ball round the boundary at times.
It's horses for courses.

The game plan show just how out of touch MMs ideas were.
