What about 2010 when we thrashed the saints on a Monday nite?
Didn't seem to trouble Jiffy then.
Have to lean toward Andy McKay's 'accuracy' theory over dimensions.
Exactly. Second half against Sydney last year was pretty awesome as well. Warnock's miss only thing that stopped us beating the Premiers last year likewise.
Whilst I acknowledge that we play poorer there, I could have sworn it was at the MCG, and not Etihad that Essendon* implemented the same game plan on us just 4 weeks ago.
Worrying about this makes you one what Mick Malthouse calls 'a hope player'. A player who worries about the opposition, weather, ground, whose missing from the opposition etc etc rather than a player who just goes out and delivers regardless of the circumstances.
Ground dimensions dont stop you from tackling, winning contested ball, clearances, working your arse off at stoppages, spreading, two way running, nailing your opportunities etc.
