Went to North/Essendon on Saturday, was a great 1st quarter but then both coaches locked it down, one thing I noticed being there live and sitting in the forward pocket ( yep the one Tippa kicked the last goal from ) was neither team attacked through the centre square and both teams were excellent at stopping switch of play, which makes it for a short kicking contest or a long bomb down the line type game.
GWS/Richmond the next day was a bit different, Richmond do spread their press much more and back their players to win more one on ones. Richmond were OK but GWS were putrid, some of their efforts without the ball were well below AFL standard, just let Richmond run in numbers and do what that wanted. Work hard against GWS = win.
