The nationwide push to a more technical and tactical approach will ultimately increase and widen our strengths as a footballing nation. A generation or three from now we should be having national squads being able to change and adapt not only to our strengths, but to opposition's weaknesses.

If we always do what's we've always done, well always get what we've always got.
Generations relying on our physicality has seen us only once get beyond the groups stages of a World Cup.
We need more rounded players so we can be less one dimensional at international level.

Every level of the game has a role to play in helping this happen.
Agree, we are going okay, we have recognised our weaknesses and the FFA curriculum has put in place strategies and coaching structure to improve the overall technical quality of our players and coaches. I can't help think that it will only truely kick in is when the 12-17 year olds playing now retire and become coaches themselves that this culture will change permanetly. Scary thought isn't it?
