Murphy's role has also been reduced and the old way of doing things in the midfield and relying on him and Gibbs plus Cripps only is over, we can be more attacking and only need
the one tagger in Ed Curnow...
That thought has crossed my mind EB but I guess it remains to be seen. I agree that the old era is now well and truly over. I'm very much looking forward to a new and more dynamic approach and I think being able to establish an advantage and hold on to it will be a feature. We will play with periods of lock down based on our good defence and try to strangle/spoil the opposition, alternating with periods of swift attacking footy based on quick and accurate ball movement. I don't think we will see the all-out style of the Doggies in their flag year or the helter skelter style of Freo of a few years ago. Much more measured and calculated.
Reality always wins in the end.
