As was posted in the in game thread, some Pies run, dare, positioning and ball use was (date I say it) good to watch.
We played cateful, defensive, static football. This skews stats.
What has happened to the electric running, ball movement and hitting forwards lace out - what we saw from our opposition? We tried half way through the third, didn't work, but the crowd noticed and finally started getting interested.
What is the change - shifting the balance too far (we lament lack of defensive effort while playing attacking footy), structure of the side, confidence or confusion of message to the players? Certainly don't have forward pressure.
I think we miss a player who is super quick that can chase an opponent from 50m away or who can get the footy, put on the jets and dispose of it to advantage.
