Playing the boundary lines:
What was with playing the boundary line so much? It looked so Neeld like.
Even when the game was on the line in the last quarter, as we pushed forward, there were no pushes back into the centre corridor from the wing. Not exactly taking the game on are we?
Forward Entries:
Watching the last quarter of the Bulldogs vs WCE game the other night, it struck me how far off we are with our delivery and positioning into the forward line. While the Eagles lost, they always kicked to empty space 30 to 40m out directly in front. Darling etc would lead from 10m out into that space.
Our first forward entry last night was Viney running out of the centre and slamming it on to his boot for another F50 bomb which was rebounded straight out.
This is not rocket science,
this comes down to systems and processes drilled into players so that they can respond consistently even when the pressure comes from the top 4 teams.
Goodwin was out coached by a first year AFL coach last night who had the support of his players to stick to a structure and process.
Yes, we've got passengers but the buck has to stop with the football department, our players look confused and disinterested.
I've sent my email to Barlett, Pert and the membership department asking for changes to be made and my auto renew to be cancelled.
I hope others at least let them know we're not going to put up with another year of this slop.
