What's concerning people is that it appears we are playing a high risk, low reward system. We need some indication that this will work with a rebuilt list.
Whats he been doing? Forwards still? Yeah good job.When was the last time an assistant coach was flicked in-season ? Hmmm.
Nearly impossible to comment on ‘how to coach’….
I have but one thought from watching yesterday - are the players specifically instructed to handball their way out of situations?
During the game the amount of pressure we put ourselves under with dinky little handballs and Pies players being 2 feet away….
and we were static when receiving the ball, not on the move…
our patterns looked like training ground, not match day ….
Also impossible to comment on "system or game plan". However, to your point furball, yesterday highlighted time and time again a lack of understanding of where, and what a team mate was going to do in certain situations. There is no team connect or confidence that a team mate is going to be in a certain spot or perform a certain action or role in certain situations. It's like they're all just going out there to "play footy" and thus, making it up on the fly.Nearly impossible to comment on ‘how to coach’….

My takeaway from watching at the G yesterday was also the reactionary way we played.Some of the training drills are very handpass focused. But it's to width, players moving and is definitely not static. The gameplan training drill is definitely not static. Yesterday's static approach was almost the opposite of how we train to play. That was poor. We seemed really reactive at times.
100% - it’s not only hard to watch, but perplexing to try & understand what it is we’re trying to do.I don't think any supporters are responding negatively just to our win/loss.
I've been to pretty much every Melbourne game this year. After the Sydney win, we have not ever looked like winning.
We've sometimes managed to be within 4 our 5 goals going into the 4th. But never with any real sense of possibility.
When we do score, it's through individual brilliance. When we concede, it looks like complete breakdown.
What's concerning people is that it appears we are playing a high risk, low reward system. We need some indication that this will work with a rebuilt list. We are sitting through games bored because it never feels like we're really in the contest. We're fighting tooth and nail to get close, while the opposition whistle and skip away.
Statistically our worst season in 60 years?
Yeah that's going to cause some consternation regardless of context.
Better said than me. Agree fully.My takeaway from watching at the G yesterday was also the reactionary way we played.
We were a team of spectators at most times who were slow to react. When we finally reacted we inevitably fumbled or chose the wrong option as we were always that split second slow. It seemed we were trying not to make mistakes.
The few times we moved proactively and quickly we easily split the pies open, but alas it was far too few times that actually happened.
