Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 3136563, member: 1992"] This team has all the necessary skill and heart to be competitive. Seibold mentioned a critical factor during the presser but I don't think he is aware that he can do something about it. It's the speed at which we play the game. In the presser he said something about panic but that's how we are playing most of the time, we are always in a panicked state. I've written about it before but rhythm is everything in sport and music amongst many other endeavours. Rarely do we see Melbourne disorganized and they can appear to be doing things at speed but it's somewhat of an illusion, a sense that good timing strengthens. Their team has learned to play slowly, finely tuning their timing and as it improved it gained speed. We can do it too by slowing down in order to gain timing and choice. We give the smothering defence all it needs because we shorten the time each individual has with the ball in hand. We need to change the offensive teams timing and to do that you need them flatfooted, rooted to the ground and not up on their toes timing their brick wall response in sync with a one out flat pass hit up.
