Apart from having a forward line - the main difference between this week (and all of our poor games or parts of games) is that the players made a concerted effort to run with intensity to pressure opponents with the ball and to pressure opponents in a position to receive a hand pass - instead of trying to corral an opponent without pressuring him or cruising along and hoping the opponent trips over his boot laces (e.g. SPS).
When the game seemed out of their reach (part way into the last term) we relaxed (maybe relapsed would be more accurate) or fatigued into a lesser intensity and the 'Aints started to deliver the ball with ease just like the Kangas did last week - most decent AFL footballers can kick to advantage if you allow them to run free.
