That score assist was good, but he did undo that with a bomb into the 50 at the other end in another quarter. When he had 2 forwards providing leads. It's just inexperience, but you would hope that someone would bring that up and show him. 

Kozzies long bomb to nobody that scorched a free Hannan I think happened early. He later lowered the eyes and gave off a beautiful pass to a leading forward. The kid learnt very quickly unlike some others.

Ah ok, I thought it was the other way round.

I think coaches would just mainly worried about consistency of messaging and game plan. Bit tricky bringing in an outsider for a day and having them instruct your players to do different things to what you're trying to make habitual for them.

Different habits would be a welcome relief to supporters

A smart coach would come up with an idea for players to trial instead of the indiscriminate bomb.  How about a 30 metre worm burner into open space if there is nothing on offer? Give the forwards half a chance instead of zero and no opposition defender would ever expect it.

Considering we are a 'contested ball' team, you'd think that would be the play. Keep it on the deck where we can at least be competitive, rather than in the air where we are inept

A commentator mentioned somewhere that Ken Hinkley instructed Port to do just that against West Coast to negate McGovern and Barass. It must have worked, Port flogged them. 

I still don't get why we bomb it to our forwards.   Either Goodwin says bomb it and we do, or he says don't bomb it,  but the players don't listen
