Firstly let me say, that I appreciate it is 2017 and not 1971. And that I applaud Baz for eliminating a lot of the nonsense out of our pack and having them play "controlled" football.
BUT ..... I said before yesterday's game that we had to unleash some mongrel and I stand by that comment. Players don't stand and off-load at will if they fear copping one late or around the chops.
I would happily give away 2/3 penalties a game as the result of good hard aggression and intimidation than the 2/3 penalties we are giving away for holding down because we didn't whack the son-of-a-bitch hard enough in the first place.
I am not talking dog acts here ... just good old fashion intimidation. Time to unleash Kapow, Darcy, AFB (Fuk he has been on a chain) and Lawrence. Teach Winterstein and Perrett to get angry and Lane to grow a pair. Jake, leave alone, he will do what he does and that is good enough.
No team will go far into the semi's unless there pack is feared and respected. We have the players ... we need to loosen the leash and release some mongrel.
But then, I might be wrong .... it isn't 1971 ... or is it.
