Disappointing day/night/whatever you want to call it.

Watching at the ground we very noticeably changed our plan at the start of the 3rd q.

Throughout the first half, we played a 'skinny side' game. Players were 'on' for the switch but NOPE - down the line, down the line, make it a s&!@ fight, make it a contest...it was seriously WEIRD. We had players 'out' in the corridor/on the fat side...we just wouldn't switch it. We persisted with kicking it down the line regardless of whether Gawn was there or whatever...it was frustrating but it was compressing the game.

Almost immediately after the break we started swinging the footy around the field. It cost us one goal early when one Cordy switch 'found' it's target...but it was a poor kick and cost us 10-15m in field position and we were pinned DTL anyway (I think this led to a poor skill error by Bailey Smith but, let's face it, all the errors are blurring into one right now). Anyway, it was a significant change in intent and in mindset. We got a couple of entries out of it but no real scores - and then Melbourne sent Jackson into CBD, we got caught inside every contest and, well, 10-goals in a row later...

I'm prob not going to watch the replay. Was this 'Down the Line' ==> 'Switch the footy' change in approach obvious on the broadcast or was it a real 'you had to be there' type thing?
