The Swans shifted their offense a touch on Saturday, attempting to run and handball from defense and through the middle and then kicking inside 50 as opposed to the heavy kick-biased style of current times.
I've been waiting and hoping for us to introduce more handball into our offense, not just a way to exit clearance to get a mark and gain control.
The kick style definitely has its merits as every time you kick and mark, you have full control of the game and you keep the game out of chaos but it's far easier defended then a running handball style which freezes defenders as they don't know when the kick will come as they continue to tun towards them with handball.
Here's what it looked like:
I half watched the game at the footy club so I already knew we had put this in action before I went back and watched the game in full so I was ready to document every time we tried this handball chain from defense strategy.
It's not that we scored a great deal from these handball chains, but it did further unsettle an already unsettled Brisbane defense down a few troops from the usual, plus it's a different layer to our offense and we have the runners to do this consistently.
It's a bit of a throwback to the old Sydney who would reguarly punch off half back but more with a single runner like Crouch, Kennelly, Williams in 2005 or a Malceski, Shaw, Jetta in 2012.
Here's how they fared.
