cimm1979,
Our game plan is the least of our worries. We always wait for another player in our squad to lay a tackle. If and if we are closest to an opponent and have no choice but tackle we offer the one armed effort. We don't really attempt to hurt an opponent and smack them into the ground. Curnow did on Selwood, so it isn't something the entire side does poorly. Just 90% of the side. Melbourne have shown it can be done by all. GWS have also. Bulldogs in their first 4 games. We haven't really shown much in any game but against the Saints. One game. How sad is that. Expecting others to do the work on you behalf. Intensity and pressure is a self motivated attempt to win the ball at any cost. Something leaders do and followers envy. Unfortunately we have minimal leaders. True leaders.
Not being in a position to get hold of a player is being lazy and not following you direct opponent. Do this against Sydney and it will be a 20 goal loss at a minimum. Mark my words, and watch this space if this happens Friday. Not having a go at you, by the way buddy. Cheers. Just saying.
