Overhandballing

Featured Replies

It’s the shocking virus that exists throughout our playing group.  When we lose, it’s often poor decision making especially poor use of the footy. Especially overhandballing!! 
 

Often it’s too a teammate under pressure as well. And creates turnovers. 
 

And tonight with wet weather. The chronic disease of overhandballing means you fumble and slip and create no space or territory.  

 

along with Max not tapping to our advantage lost count of the taps that went straight to Fro players

We never adapt to wet conditions. Fritsch handpass to Rivers an example.

 

 

the hail Mary or Hollywood handpass over the back of players heads in the hope that it finds a melbourne player is killing us. I love Oliver but he needs to cut that crap out of his game.

Posters often say we bomb it long too often.

I reckon we handball too often. 
Surely  in those conditions you should gain as much yardage as possible with long kicks, which will probably go over the back.

I think it’s rarely the correct decision to kick short to a 50:50, but in wet windy conditions it’s a sin.

It's basic Auskick stuff to know to kick long in wet weather footy. Also manning up you learn in Auskick which we failed to do tonight. We have been overhandballing since the Cameron Bruce days. It's a pity we have a weak excuse for a coach who obviously struggles to communicate these things with the players.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

  • NON-MFC: Round 7

    Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.
