AFL Practice Match 2021 Carlton vs the Drug Cheats

[ElwoodBlues1]

Its worth pointing out that we shouldn't try and play like the tigers. The tigers play that way because they have the players to play that way.
We need to play a way that suits our players....and allows us the best chance of winning most weeks, especially in finals.

Winning the contested ball consistently for 4 quarters is is a non negotiable.
That's what gives you the ball to apply what ever style/method you use to score.
Richmond have very few if any players who don't contest well or try and cheat on their teammates by being weak at the contest.
You only need 10-15 minutes of insipid/lazy contesting vs the good teams and they will pile on 5 goals and its game over.
eg GWS have had all the talent in the world, their own style but every other team knows they don't contest well when challenged and its their key players who let them down.
Contested ball in the big moments and efficiency under pressure is where I see us needing to improve.
