No, it's playing to a plan when you don't have the cattle you make sure the opposition don't score.

ANB playing a good running game, but as a thinking footballer under little pressure he is shocking cannot hit a clean target.

Why would you drink chinese coffee bit salty I say.....

So tell me why have they not done it?

Please don't confuse staying on the ground with a midfield role big difference do you seriously think he could run as hard and with a majority of the time in the midfield like Oliver and Viney.

Does anyone think about why he's not in the midfield more, don't you think Goodwin and co would have done it more often and longer, because he hasn't got the tank he's a burst player built for speed plus his thought process isn't that brilliant when he has to think it through he rushes his disposal. Now in a couple of years and age he might get there but for now just use his strengths, just get him to stop trying to take mark of the century every time and crumb and create havoc.

I am also talking about boundary throw ins.

That might be so but Max started to change the angles which did not leave him flat-footed, he normally likes to engage contact and use his strength, Grundy took that away, he has trouble with guys that directly jumps into him, as for the ruck rules they are a disgrace and a blight on the game all this grappling and holding is not ruckwork time for the AFL to changes that rule and stop it.

Forgot to say it was good to see Max moving around for the ball ups and jumping instead of being crashed into made a difference.

Well was glad we didn't let up but gee the dogs were bog ordinary at times, but on to us Billings will be a great pick up if we can keep him on the park, Howes is showing that with patience will be OK, Windsor showed some real talent, Hore was unlucky to be delisted last time and filled the gap with Bowey down. Don't think Tmac is the answer there see how he goes against better teams, Lever is a dear in headlights when he has to think his way out, same with Tmac, but you can only beat what's in front of you will be interesting to see how they treat the Hawks next week.

It requires effort....

The ruck ruling today is a disgrace there should be no contact like they are doing now.

Nope Gary Lyon takes that one, giants v tigers and after ball coming out with ease for the giants Lyon says Yze would be looking at his midfield coach for answers, gee why hire a senior coach if he cannot coach.

Just take a minute and think about that comment.

There goes his career as a ruckman....

Wasn’t Sparrow reported to by be head hunted by the crows, how did that end up, have these gossip journalists have nothing better to write about.

Harsh but fair...

Ah getting testy so you still don't want to answer, here's the solution. 1. Don't reply ever. 2. Block me.

So you didn't answer my question that's OK...

Ok I will explain this another way, you start a business and had a business plan in place in place made money then the following two years you are losing money and you have an idea why what do you do? A Keep doing the same thing over and over again. B Look at the why you are losing money and change the way you do business. So what would you do? Yes injuries didn't help but if you don't have those players you make changes such as don't bomb it boundary side when you don't have a high marking option you try and move the pill around till it opens up, just remember Goodwin has acknowledged that it is a problem you cannot deny that. As mush as I hate stats with a passion we had 37 more inside 50's than the pies and lost and you don't think there is a problem with connection with the forward line?

It's been a problem for two years the coach admits it, so tell me how they have tried to make it work when you have a game plan that's down the line play and contest to contest. That's not to say McAdam who can take a mark that could help but you have to ask why he was not a regular in the crows side.

There are only a handful of ruckman who trouble Max as they don't like to wrestle but jump into him, it also his fault for not changing the angles and that's the problem. And speaking of ruck play it's a disgrace they have aloud this grappling before the ball is thrown in or ball ups I know it suits us but it's a blight on the game time to weed it out.

Look Mc Adam when fit might help with the problem he can take a mark and leads ok from what I have seen of him, the problem being is the how we bring it into the forward line and space given.

Well maybe read his article again...

Unfortunately some players are like that, Watts was another, you cannot instil that behaviour into someone unless they want to.
