Review thread - beat the Hawks in round 1 of 2023

Alot of people on this forum have been banging on about wanting “Elite kicking! Elite kicking!”

I’ve never been hugely concerned with our kicking, but mainly our decision making…. Lowering the eyes, and stop bombing long to a 20 player contest on the wing.

But the new game plan is clearly about kicking long into space for a one on one contest, driving the ball forward at all costs, and being very aggressive with hitting kicks to the benefit of team mates.

I think we might get exposed against better sides…. Especially against teams who play man on man, and are better contested marking teams.

Funnily enough, this game plan is absolutely hand made for Perkins. Contested marking, aggressive kicking, driving the ball forward at all costs…. That’s what he does.
