Keep It simple stupid

That should be the message the coach gives the players this week.

When the Demons were in a slump during Norm Smiths reign that was the message.

He used to concentrate on one thing, that was tackling.

This was conveyed to me by a former player that was a member at my golf club Geoff McGivern.

Give each player a target of at least 5 tackles per game.

Given the number of tackles they actually did lay on their opposition last Saturday night, I think an increase to 5 tackles might be a little hard on some of our princesses.

I'll settle for 2 or 3.

Give them a goal which is achievable but not easy, two or three would be nice but too easily achieved.

Tackling is one of the easier skills, that's probably why Norm Smith chose it.

As Barrassi said its just two things.

1. Go in hard for the ball

2. Give it your all

The rest will follow.

Exactly!

If we had of done these two things we would have not lost to the Power by 79 and Essendon by 148.

Agree with all of this

2 tackles each isn't much better than the 35 registered on Saturday night. For Essendon to have so many more possessions and us to lay a paltry 35 tackles is a disgrace.

That was the perfect example of bruise free footy. And it should never be tolerated again.

How pathetic is it that we had 140 attempts to tackle and only layed 30.

The simplist of skills and yet we can't even do that.

I think the message has been too complicated.

For Gods sake just let them go out and play and enjoy football the way they did in their junior days, throw out all ths bullsh!t game plan and let the players do what they do best. Surely the results can't be any worst than they are at the moment.
