It's a good point.
How do you counter the game plan then? Can we afford to play into their hands? How do/will Geelong play them?
Obviously Ethiad suits their style of play. The MCG can be difficult for them, though.

Get in front on the scoreboard and chip it around for 3 and a half quaters! :D

We need the small forward hovering around his knees for the crumbs, something we haven't seen so far.
Cooney is probably the best at getting the ball to Hall in the team. He kicks it to the right spots before Hall has even started his lead alot of times and it usually ends up with Hall taking a mark 30-40 metres out directly in front.
When it's done fast it generally works. If someone stops and props then bombs it on the head of Hall he has very little chance of taking the mark.

And I never said their is a smart loss. I said loss and stupid loss.
