Did you detect a difference in Williams coaching style?

[Missing Dog]

I imagine as an assistant coach there are times when you'd be thinking geez I wish the coach would do more of this and less of that. Paul Williams got his chance on Sunday and I only saw snippets of the game. Did anyone detect a difference in the team's play? Stuff that wasn't present under Rocket's usual game plan??

These sorts of things are pretty tough to see, at least for me, but I was wondering whether anyone here picked anything up.

I didn't to be honest, but then again it really was a glorified training run. We'll get a better idea this week.

I heard him talking about a successful forward press, and I heard mumblings from other coaches this was missed by Eade.

No and he mentioned as much himself. The onus was on the mids to support the backs and that's about it.

I thought we had better forward pressure, at least for the first half.

Especially that 1st quarter, Port couldn't get the ball past the centre.

Did it say more about us or more about them?

Pretty useless discussion really, Port are a ramble. Had Jones not handballed at the end of the first quater we would won by 100+.

To me it looked like constant tackling and pressure which they couldn't handle.

Yeah what the hell was Jones thinking.

Murphy called for the handball when behind Jones, Jones released the ball to where he thought Murf was heading, but in the meantime Murf had stopped.... Ball goes to ground and Port were away.

Murphy called for it than stopped. If he kept running he would have taken possession of it.

As the senior player who called for it, he surely must take some of the blame.

But you don't hand ball it if he isn't there.

He was running to the space, called then stopped dead.

You don't handball to a player, you handball to where he will be when the ball gets there.
