Forwards coach, lol. We get tonnes of opportunities going in, our shambolic defense is the one that needs to be fixed first.

The highest scoring team in the league needs an overhaul of the forward coaching.

Right.

If we have a goal kicking coach, sack him!

if we don’t have a goal kicking coach, hire one tomorrow. 

Our set shots are disgraceful 


Damn right it does Bing.
Mindlessly bombing the ball inside 50 like morons is just BS.
Done it all year and the buck stops with Goodwin.

Agree. Hire one of the traditional full forwards from the era when full forwards kicked goals. We need a kicking coach urgently.

Its not all the goal kicking technique though someone down there needs the gonads to tell Hogan to at least hold the ball on the correct side of his body for a start.
For the most part it the weakness between the ears that kills us.

More important..... Who's our shot on goal coach?

Helen Keller.

Nothing to do with the coach. The "system" worked. The actual kicking was the let down.

Spargo - who I am a huge fan of by the way - was atrocious today. Couldn't kick over a jam tin, rushing his set shots.

Hogan - I just don't get his constant easy misses.

Jeffy. That miss on the run while  momentum was moving our way. That is what you are in the team for. Energy sapper right there.

Jones on the run. One beauty and one shocker.

Twice in the last quarter a play-on and a slip over cost us walk-in goals. 

No coach fixes this stuff, players do. 

Really, really poor.

Appalling routines and skills for set shots!

How did these players survive through junior ranks with these set shot routines?

Oh I forgot, they had great beep tests!!

Watch closely though, very few of our player have a set routine that they stick to and repeat. Tommy McDonald might be the only one. 

Hogan’s run up, step count and ball drop are different every time.

every player needs a set shot routine. It’s the only way to really work out what they’re doing right or wrong to fix and fine tune any issues.

Ben Brown is the perfect example. His set shots are always to routine. And if he’s off he can look at the footage and fix it


Our scoring strategy is all about volume of entries to forward 50 - get it in as much as possible and eventually we will score - a strategy that doesn’t work against top teams who find it easy to defend -poor coaching!!

Hogan runs under the ball every single time.

And we kick it over his head every single time instead of kicking in front of him to lead into

Most of our misses occur in general play.
We lack composure and sheeet ourselves.
It's between the ears.

 

FORGET THAT WHO TEACHES GOAL KICKING??

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
