Casboult to CHB

In modern AFL this is an archaic losing strategy, the problem is that by the time you've built the list to suit the plan every opposition club knows what you are doing.

It's almost the exact opposite of what the Bulldogs did, they made rapid changes and reaped benefits.

Also being a follower, copying last years premiers is almost certainly also a losing plan, it's like being 2nd in line!

That’s right LP.  Successful clubs have to be ahead of the game and that means constant change.  It also means that there will be seasons when the gameplan and/or list doesn’t quite work out.  It’s a high risk/high reward strategy but the successful clubs are better at managing the risk.

I think that the Bulldogs lack of success after their premiership was not a hangover but a failure to improve on their gameplan and list.
