I suspect the former, you are suggesting its the latter. I take you back the GC where 5 minutes of poor footy (reduced effort, structures breaking down) cost us the game. In the Ess and Syd game, 120 mins of switched on footy.
I am confident BB has plan A, B and C for different circumstance within games. Its all about the players knowing when to execute the various ones at the right time, this will come with time.
I suspect it's a bit of both. I agree that you need to be focused the whole game, but the question is what exactly are you focusing on ?
For the sake of the argument, compare us to the Crows - do you think their ability to score freely is because of :
a. a specific game style that goes in with that mindset, including but not limited to, faster and more forward ball movement ?
b. a better forward line ?
c. players with faster leg speed ?
d. better mids ?
e. better stoppage structures, or generally better setups around the ground ?
f. different or better "cattle" ?
any or all of the above ?
