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.

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.

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 

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.

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.

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

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!!

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
