Headplant, compare it to the way North played.

There's not that much of a difference. The way we played in the first few years was plain ridiculous, they took the kick it long thing a bit too far. You only kick long to a contest when the short options aren't really there or if there's plenty of space for blokes to double back into.

Long Kicks % of Total Kicks

50.4% Kangaroos 2001
54.4% Kangaroos 2002

47.9% Carlton 2001
46.9% Carlton 2002
43.8% Carlton 2003
44.2% Carlton 2004
40.9% Carlton 2005

The data clearly shows that Carlton kicks long less often under Pagan and less often than Pagan's Kangaroos.

You know it's only round 1 but after what we've been through, surely we can enjoy it a bit!! I was in the coffee room at work this morning and some worthless 'Aints' loser was making excuses for their loss. Now I know that WCE at Subi arent going to lose to many teams this year and that the Aints did OK to avoid a blowout etc, but after our great win a thought flashed across my mind. That thought stirred up a part of mind and a series of emotions that havent been used for some time. It was an incredible feeling. A cross between confidence, disrespect for others and a sense of acceptance that there is a natural order for the universe and that we are MEANT to be on top of the heap. Dare I say it I felt a little pang of arrogance. Just very slight mind, didnt say a word, never took the bloke to task. Somewhere in the back of my brain though I did think:

"..what do you expect you loser, if you barrack for a mob like the saints your place is pre-determined to be the loser's list, recent seasons are an abberation that is slowly being righted....."

I know it might all come crashing down next week and i might have to re-bury those thoughts in my subconscious again, but just for now I am quietly reacquainting myself with Mr Arrogance!!!

Jars, looking at stats isn't going to help on this one, it LOOKS similar. I don't care about the length of the kicks.

There's been a few things added to it, and a few modifications taking the playing list and styles of players into account but when they move forward it's a similar system, they're just running the ball a bit more, handballing a little bit more and the leads are a bit longer.
