The players we have ARE fools remember?Remember 186 and the roller-coaster of Baileys all out attack plan?
The Bailey style meant we would get hammered if we didn't get first use of the ball.
Tackling ,chasing , shepherding and close marking were optional then.
Now the basics are mandatory and the players have lost the ability to create play because the first thought is about manning up .
The differences will come as come a we start winning 8+ one on one contests around the ground.
Clark and Frawley , Jones and Howe are about the only contests of the 18 on the ground that we are winning .
