Goodwin Style v. Clarkson Style

[Tony Tea 2,792]

Chalk up another win for Clarko Footy against the Dees. 

West Coast in Perth next week.

Games against Carlton and Hawthorn to come.

We have no idea how to combat the press and break style.

[Tony Tea 2,792]

West Coast we should have beaten.

Hawthorn we did beat.

Things are looking up.

I don't want to say I told you so, so get stuffed.

Meh, not all that worried about the game style. 

Defensively: We are covering off and zoning well, most of our goals come after horrible turnovers, or poor defensive contests when a defender was there and couldn't make the spoil

In attack: The play out of the backline and through the middle of the ground is showing a method, unfortunately the class isn't there at half back and the midfield work rate isn't top level yet. The forward line entries are our biggest weaknesses and the Clarko style zone defending can catch us out but I think a lack of class across half forward and a lack of confidence in our forwards is the biggest issue.

Forward pressure is probably the area that drives both phases of the game plan that needs the most improvement. 

If we can force more turnovers we will score more and the positive feedback loop there means we will be more confident to attack. We've just held back on that in order to make sure the backline doesn't leak goals.

Clarkson doesn't have any style.

He wanders around like a deranged midget muttering cliches under his breath in his stupid looking track suit with his bucked teeth and his vacant bogan mannerism.
