I agree Scoop. Also, ND's gameplan is downright predictable. So far in '07 opposition coaches has suffocated our winning recipe by> Shutting down influential players early (Johnstone & Davey), harrassing and applying pressure, double-teamming (esp. half-forward line) and putting numbers behind the ball for easy rebound off halfback.
More noticebly, the players seem to lack composure in decision-making, thus, turning the ball over easily ("dumb footy") where they often choose the wrong option. This is where I think it stems back to ND's pre-game preparations and directions.
Is ND capable of devising a smart gameplan??
