I'd rather see us return with just a point and the best team having been on the park rather than this almost templated midfield and defensive set scraping together an ugly 3 points.
That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard (how can they be the best team if they wouldn't do as well as another team?), but you probably want to take it up with the guy who was saying above that the Nix can't possibly win without Goldenballs Smith on the field.
I think the point being made was that some of us would prefer we played away with the same intent we play at home i.e. an attacking mind set. Rather than a defensive set up in the hope we can stifle the home team and nick a win on the break.
Our away record would indicate that however you describe our approach on the road it has been an abysmal failure.
The fact Smith can't even make the match day squad and both Lia and Brown will be in the starting 11 indicates, to me anyway, nothing has changed in Herbert's approach to away games.
Of course we will all take 3 points, even if they come by virtue of an ugly win, but personally I would prefer it if players like Smith were picked ahead of "muscle" players with clearly less speed, skill and vision.
