''As long as we do the things we've been trying to do, which is move the ball as quick as we can, and certainly put some pressure around the football, not only on the guy who has the football, but the secondary receiver. That's what we've been really effective at when we've played well.

''So against whoever, it doesn't matter, our process has still got to be the same, we've got to get in the game and do the things we've been practising and doing well longer and better than our opposition. And we give ourselves a chance.''

Hard running and hard tackling. They're the two most important things in footy IMO. And it seems to be a key part of the play we're aiming for.

Bailry has said the same thing over the past 3 years. He has been consistent. Its takes some players that long to get the message

Or.... it takes that long to get enough quality players to execute his plan

You're both right.

And isn't it amazing what can happen when a coach sticks to his philosophy and tells players and recruiters to adapt rather than play a gamestyle designed for the VFL side he inherited.

I cannot believe posters argued this as late as last year.

Just amazingly daft.

Conviction and unwavering commitment to sticking fat.

Last year? Don't you mean last week, after the Wet Toast loss? They'll be out next week too if we get hammered by the Cats, bemoaning our kick to handball ratio and demanding players kick it long, regardless of whether there are options on downfield or not. They'll question Bailey and the different "gameplan" of standing still and not tackling, we all know that when the players have an off day it's clearly because Bailey told them to.

If the MFC players accept this weekends challenge, by that i mean the whole team is switched on & not intimidated (Round 2)

This could be a cracking game. How long we can keep the pressure up is the major factor.

Because of last weeks situation we will need DB to put in his best effort in the coaches box, the players will need every bit of help.

The entire MFC i hope should learn a bucket load about themselves this saturday.

Bring it on.
