Everyone in the AFL is talking about the changes Teague has made, game plan, tactics and player positions.
The evidence proves it.
The stats are undeniable.
Yet you use the phrase
“which means we are implementing stuff we've worked on probably since the pre-season and doing it better or just exposing it now!”
You say I’m trying to start an argument.
No, I’m just pointing out the incorrect post.
You read a sentence and presume a novel.
You can't assume the way they are playing now is something that they hadn't already trained for, but that assumption is implicit in your statement.
Anyone involved in even basic levels of football will tell you how hard it is to break trained habits mid-season, and it certainly doesn't happen in a week. Further the AFL players train more repetitively than part-timers, meaning they have far more retained memory of preferred behaviors.
What are those undeniable stats, and how do the last few weeks compare to the previous 12? But I'll be kind and warn you in advance that you'll have to be very selective to find any significant difference either overall or player by player. The main difference other than the win/loss is that disposal efficiency has improved going inside F50, all the other stats have barely changed a smidgen!
