Andrew John’s is the man with plan re attack.

Yet no one is questioning why we have gone away from the structures we used in the first 2 and a bit games up till the hot head was sent off.
We know why. We were going to play in the rain against the Sharks and AOB decided Andrew Johns ball doesn't work well in the wet so we reverted back to AOB ball... Which netted us 0 points.

Besides change in personnel. There has to be question why our play style has changed so much. I won't cop short turnarounds as the excuse.

Barring injury Bellamy won't change anything from last round.....
The scary thing is O'Brien won't either.

This is Johns' first game of the year right?

He'll be lucky to play 10 minutes with how AOB uses the bench.

Oh good. Just to make me feel better about myself and whatever little hope I had today, Fox Sports show me a stat that says AOB has never beaten a Bellamy coached side.

Feel free to check my arithmetic.

Do we slip behind the Dogs when they lead by 40? Should be some 35 minutes away.
