A New Game plan

[Lods]

In among the discussion of his increase in height the other day Patrick Cripps had this to say...

There's a real positive sort of vibe around the joint. I think Bolts is going to be really good for the group.....a new game plan is going to get the best out of a lot of people.

So what will be the new approach.
You would think there would be a strong Hawthorn influence but...
This is an opportunity for Bolton to put some of his own strategies into practice.

In very simplistic terms...rightly or wrongly...One of the criticisms of both Pagan and Malthouse was that they tried to make the players adapt and play to 'their' game plan, rather than choose a game plan that suited the skills and abilities of the list at the time.

Ratten seemed to adopt a different approach in that his strategy seemed to be to let the list play to their strengths...The criticism of that was that such a plan didn't stand up under certain circumstances...particularly finals pressure. ("that type of football will never win you a flag was a constant theme")

So it's over to Bolton...

How will he approach it?
How will our significant list changes impact on those strategies.
