With Hogan in the side, my hope is that the players will look to move the ball forward with a bit more purpose and therefore resulting in more inside 50s.

I wish i shared your optimism. Instead I think this needs to be developed over summer - as another layer of the gameplan

Been I while since I have been able to see a game live, unfortunately I was still disappointed with what was served up.

What went right : defensive effort was there. Not always but most of the time.

Nathan Jones - need I say More

What went Wrong : Decision making. Our first thought for all players no matter where on the ground is chip back.

This has got to stop!! Don't mind going back to get out of trouble but in open play back is not the right direction.

Its got to the point that the forwards don't bother to lead as the know the ball is going back.

Forwards must lead like they mean it. Half hearted 3 second runs is not a lead.

Forward pressure was non-existant.

Fixes I think could Help : Have at least one forward in the forward half at all times (Dawes is my pick). We got quick breaks but couldn't exploit them

I think there is some kind of assumption that AFL Players have great skills and don't need to train on basic skills.

We need to be able to always

- Kick accurately between 30-40 meters

- Handpass to targets under 5 meters

- Lead with conviction/honour(trust) that lead will be honoured

As "Roosey" has said if you not here to play you might as well go now.

Watched the Lions smash Magpies tonight. Their style of play was fast, quick ball movement, get the ball inside 50 and run run run.

That is what I want to see more in our Mfc style.
