I see new game plan as mostly a platitude. I hope the emphasis is more on working as a team and a relentless focus on skills. If you don't do these things well then no particular style of play is going to make much difference. I never thought the Malthouse kick it along the boundary style was much of a problem in itself. If players had the skill and work rate where it needed to be then it would have gone unnoticed. Game plans and styles get alot of attention, but we seem to accept and excuse professional players being unable to kick off both feet.
Most of all, the club has to set higher standards in all areas. The club must make the all important transition from a coach setting expectations for the players, to a genuine team where all participants ask more of each other.
