The Saints would have based their match strategy on getting the ball on the outside and running away from our mids. Our plan would have been to make it a contested ball situation at the stoppage.
We couldn't that because their ruckman put it anywhere he wanted.
Phillips will be in next game because GWS have even more speed on the ball.
and effective ruckman don't clog up space, they create a mismatch in the forwardline .
Bit of credit to the Saints coaching as well...Dunstan did the job on Cripps and Gibbs was also well held(could have been Weller)......
Agree on their game plan....they probably had only the one weapon over us and that was leg speed and they played on most times they took possession and I thought they also
had done some work on our game plan and had us zoned off and even when we tried to switch play they had enough numbers to hold us up..
Good learning experience and we probably need a plan B for the future..
