Our style of play is hard a brutal but right now hard to play 4 qtrs with. That will come with more games as we develop more match hardness with the style. Not that dissimilar to the 2017 version of Richmond, who also played a hard, brutal style. We laughed loudly at them choking in games late mid season that year but they were simply brutal for 4 qtrs come September and for the next 3 years after. As bad as our last halves are now, those first halves are something to behold.
I think that’s fair commentary Jim. Apparently the players have fully bought into Vossy’s approach that requires all in effort at all times to win contested ball. Our fitness level does not sustain that for much more than half a game atm but hopefully it will come, and when/if it does then fasten seatbelts!!
Reality always wins in the end.
