I link this for reference, from 2014 :
Despite kicking just three goals (from 19 scoring shots), Roos said he wished fixing the problem was as easy as changing the game plan.
"I wish it was that simple ... [if it was] I'd happily change [the game plan]. You are assessing yourself as a coach all the time, there is no question, but just the simple errors ... just incredible," Roos said.
"If you have got an inability to hit targets, it's really hard to implement a game plan because you just can't execute the most basic skills."
I think he's right. When you can't hit targets, you turn the ball over frequently, can't make tackles stick, keep kicking behinds, IMO game plan is almost irrelevant. Add to this the almighty Review, and you have a football department distracted from the task at hand by unnecessary decisions.
