Are we seeing a new team / coaching tactic emerge this season ?

Geez Lexi, i consider you a great thinker of our game, but no no no, it just doesn't happen as simply as the flick of a switch. I was fortunate several years ago as chairman of selectors,and footy director at a regional footy club, to have the opportunity to coach the clubs senior team in one game. The senior coach had to attend an overseas work conference, the team had lost every game the previous year, and the first 15 games of the new season, before i coached in round 16. There was no flicking of switches, The magnetic board i was given, showed the names of 22 young men the senior coach had selected for the game, before leaving for his overseas trip. Previously i had coached in 200 odd U18 games, so i had a couple of ideas about coaching, but when i stood in front of this team of 22 before the game, they each had their individual opionions, personalities, life problems, and associated issues with parents, girlfriends and wives. My message before the game was simple short and sweet, the boss is away, go out today and enjoy yourselves, have fun, work hard for front spot, talk correctly to each other and run past at every opportunity,from marks, free kicks, and a teammate picking up off the ground . The team won its first and only game in 2 years by 7 points . In the rooms after the game 3 oldtimers, overjoyed by the victory,funnily enough asked the question of me " how did you flick the switch", i just said i didn't, it just happened. In all reality it had nothing to do with me, "the team won the game" . I had no special tactic, just luck on the day, and i believe thats how AFL footy still works today, the coach has no special powers !!
