watch the passing ability of the halves, especially early 90’s, they couldn’t pass to their right let along a spiral to their right. Half the time Wally Lewis would have to stop and pivot anti clockwise to throw a ball to his right with any power.
We had the great Brett firmanYou’re not wrong the early 2000’s were top shelf. 2005 is one of my favourite years of footy and my team ran last.
It was a great little period where we had great athletes playing what’s in front of them rather than great athletes playing to a structure.
The players right now are twice the athletes they have ever been. I like the 90's for nostalgic reasons but the quality of football was better in the 00's compared to the 90's.
The rule changes of this decade like shoulder charge ban, and the punch rule coupled with the low risk coaching and media scutiny has detracted from the game as a product of entertainment in recent times.
I liked the 00's better cos Saints didn't lose any grand finals that decade.
