Time to go Goody?
Well, lots of things are worth a try. My thoughts of May forward are I have none really. I'm aware he knows what to dobas he was a fwd once before settling into one of the comps best backs. It's possibly more my reticence of fixing something that ain't particularly broke. Our defence is generally OK. Well it was, before it was 'fixed' . I was a little dubious that bringing a suspect Lever into the team and displacing Tmac would result in a beneficial upgrade. It hasn't. My preference is to have May, Tmac and Disco hold down the big defender roles. No one else really does May's job quite as well as he does. But...let's roll with your idea May up forward.. then begs with whom ? I've really rewritten JVRs card atm as not being quite good enough. Might you want Petty back and Disco fwd ? A backline comprising Petty, Lever, Tmac, and Salem ? Tbh.. I'm past caring. We might as well raffle the magnets. Just to finish this post.... my rationale re Ricky pushing forward is he's out of sorts at back atm. So don't have him there. His forte is reading the flight, picking off the ball and making decisions ( generally very good ) quickly. He can normally find a team mate with a quick disposal. We [censored] around a lot in the f arc. Someone who can get ball, move ball to advantage quickly is what we've missed for a long time. Look at games we've been most dangerous in. The ball moves quickly and fluidly into the 50 and directed to advantage. I.e.. someone sees someone else and ball is relayed quickly without hesitation. What do we do all to often... we prop.. just long enough to kill the ball. We need to break this cycle. But , hey, cast the runes, mix it up and it might all be for nought if no bastard can split the sticks anyway. Go us... Roll on 26

Sorry... that went past you.. My post was referring to D Rev assertion that the "average" person doesn't work weekends or Thrsday/Friday evenings . It was a loose pointing to the many people in hospitality and tourism to say nothing of shift workers...in factories ...or Hospitals, Etc etc. I.e.. they ( footy players ) are hardly hard done by.

You won't do all things at all times. You might need to do some things a lot of times. It really oughtn't be a Lotto everytime a Demon kicks for goal. 🤷

You're very close to something. I'd extend your thinking by suggesting its because there's no clear, defined artfulness in our forward structure and craft which leaves far to much to effectively chaos theory in approach to scoring. It's as unregimented as our skills. Our forward game is NOT built upon skill it's built upon pressure. And my oh my does our scoring exhibit the effects of that.

Believe it or not that is as much of the why you practice as the physical. Is to train your mind as well as the method. As I said. Technique and Mindfullness. One becomes the other. Kinda Zen. Wax on...Wax off

My comments were straight up. Still... I played burb footy. We trained invariably under lights and in the cold. It either rained or it didn't. Hated it, but it did condition you. Hell some grounds hardly had grass in areas by mid winter. Goalsquares were akin to a sty . There's no excuse for poor kicking at this level. As to the decision making of some as to what kind of kick under particular conditions and orientation to goal... just beggars belief. Borders on lairising imo. My expectations of this team are seldom met. Appreciate your efforts Mr Kev . Cheers

Goalkicking
To not take goal kicking with the requisite respect... that goes borderline PSD The whole game centres on goalkicking after all.

Lever is actually very good at knowing where the ball is. Actually a very good asset for a forward. You can intercept just as well forward as you can back. It would introduce an interesting dynamic into fwd incursions ... imho. It's only an idea . His time might be getting close to "up" down back. As is...tbh...May We still need to think outside the box. The box is getting beaten.

Well said Mr M Pretty pizz poor that some seem 'above' the basics. Spot on...so much attitude related. Back from 'holidays' ... just easing into the tide. Nice for them

I've had strange thinking of keeping May back with Tmac and Disco. But throwing Lever fwd with Petty and Friita. Sounds absurd, probably is. Just getting maverick with the magnets. What we have isn't working well. Need to mix up forward. Not convinced that either JVR or Jeffo are AFL solutions.
