Pickett, do they practice 6 forwards and backmen plus midielders as in flooding the forward line and getting the forwards to find space and separate till they can find someone and i'm not talking about match sim just using the half forward line only.

You really think so? if but's and maybe's are a great talking point and if that happened yes it will hurt but those things can be overcome to at least lesson the problem, but a having a problem with forward line entries hurt you more. I am hopeful that a change of game plan with forward line entries will be far more effective this year than the ruck problem.

I'm sure the club will contact you re Fullerton for your experience on these matter....

Does this man watch any games to say the weakness is in the ruck, Jesus Stevie Wonder could see it was the forward line that was the problem....

Thanks

was he with the backline or midfield group?

Thanks

How was McVee?

Well if you cannot understand what i have written then I can't help you.

It's quiet simple viney, Anb, Trac, Sparrow can run all day but run at the same pace and as the game goes on, it stays the same, guys like daicos etc can run all day but have an ability to change it up and keep it up even when late in the game there is the difference, we need that type of outside player which would help the midfield immensely.

ANB and Hunter are one paced, and name one time where Kossie runs at pace all day he runs in spurts if he was that way he might have been playing midfield a lot more, he is also an instinct player not a thinker for a good midfielder he is another burst player how is this so hard to see, Trac while a great player he will and only be a burst player with power he simply cannot run all day at full pace his body shape should tell you that.

And you still don't understand by your response of what i am saying, he is a power player and burst player yes, he is not an endurance type player with speed.

lmfao really then you must not have watched games last year....

Don’t confuse burst speed with what I said as a midfield that is one paced. Do you really think Trac could run at pace all game, do you think he could keep up with a daicos all game at pace and other players of that ilk? he is a power burst player .

very much so.

Having a bull like Riv in the middle will also give them more flexibility to use Tracc forward. Don't need another bull in the midfield but need someone with speed and agility, skills and endurance in other words an outside player at the moment Viney, trac, ANB are all one paced, Oliver has some toe on him but he is more inside player.

And the younger generation going WTF....

For the life of me cannot understand the fascination of the training venue after all, players run round a field with football's and practice as long as the club is altogether so be it. Are people expecting a social club to be included if so that's years gone by thinking, also in reality how many members watch training bugger all and here is a fact if we make the finals and grand final and the training was at Casey it would still be packed all I want is the best facilities and conditions for the club full stop.

Best Melbourne footballer I have seen in their prime.

Fair point...

1. I think you are wrong there, first of all the backline is in good shape with several player that can cover injuries. 2. The midfield is good but does need a quicker type of player there as we are a little one paced when it comes to opening the play up but overall matches up with other teams overall. 3. The forward line has been our achilles heel since 21 and that had a lot to do with the game plan, but has been bolstered and will be interested to see if this years game plan has changed with those players coming in. 4. Overall we are still in contention but Goodwin must change the style we use, Langdon and Hunter must sop playing boundary side and centre attacking a lot more, Kossie should be used as an attacking forward not a defensive one all the time and go no more that the H/F line just like the pies used Elliot and Hill. Will be interesting year I say.

Spot on, I think sometimes people expect a social club aspect to it, those days are well and truly gone as long as the whole club is there and facilities are of a high standard then that's great, and as George said, how many members watch training every week.

And good on him.

Geez the new player with the bag of balls needs to step up his training progress if he's going to get a game next year....

Ted used to work with me on the trucks as a jockey in the old days at a cigarette factory top bloke, so was his brother.
