Casboult to CHB

[LP]

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.

It was the biggest issue I had with Mick Malthouse, he was building a list for an obsolete game plan that every opposition club knew inside out!

Not only are you battling your own clubs ability to implement the plans and recruiting, you are also battling every other clubs knowledge base on how to counteract your exposed strategies. AFL is not like football at any other level for this reason.
