It's just the game plan that's killed the window

IMO your game plan was set around slow but very controlled ball movement, this suited the older brigade to a tea.
The new rules have seen it almost impossible for teams to stop other teams moving the ball quick, when Geelong have the ball they can control the speed but once it’s in opposition hands they just can’t slow the game down.
IMO they have a small case to be disgruntled that the AFL can change the way the game is played from one year to the next so dramatically. I’m sure if they knew in advance these rules were coming in they would have traded differently.
I still believe they can offset the new rules with a different, more attacking style. I think on ability/skills, they can hit targets through the corridor. The legs may be slower, but slow, zigzagging, boundary hugging movement is Collingwood 10years ago.
Tom Hawkins is getting more grey by the 1/4. I have no idea how Jeremy Cameron will fit in. Fancy having 2 talls who will continually have to battle against teams flooding back filling in the holes.
It's time to go kamikaze and go back to playing the corridor.
