Pulled apart by the afl! Let’s be clear here!!Thanks for the article GTT.
This sounds really good as I was sick and tired of our terrible disposal even through the dynasty years. I want to see skill, skill, skill.
“Yes, but to be fair when you have had success you feel everyone is chasing you so you think you have to tweak your game plan. Richmond in the flag era was easy to scout but hard to beat. So it’s not about trying to create new tricks and new game plans,” he says. “It’s upskilling players who can get better at those roles in that system. (Richmond) went away from that because they were getting chased (tactically) and they were getting their game plan pulled apart. That’s only my opinion. But I have a clear focus on getting the boys re-energised, which is exciting.”
Let me introduce a concept I like to call the triangle of talent. Skill, athleticism and ball winning ability. Now pick two.
Most players, outside of a few unicorns are only proficient in two of these attributes at best. If we are going to start emphasizing the foot-skills (again, I’ve been around long enough to remember the not-too-distant past where we also tried this) then we are going to have accept players that are deficient in other areas. This is going to create other issues.
Personally, I don’t think lack of skills is our problem. I think we’ve lost the run, both endurance and pace, that made us so formidable at our recent best. We lost a lot of elite runners in the last few years and haven’t really replaced any of them.
And I think that's where we have fallen down the most........Competitiveness! We used to attempt to compete for, at the the very least, EVERYTHING! The boys have slipped in this area, 1,2 or 3 cups will do that. I think this is where the new voice will be in our favour. A new coach to impress I'm hoping will be a valuable commodity. In theVery good point TiFury.
Lennon, Jarhead Ellis. Good kicks, but didnt make it.
We cant go overboard with this desire for kicking skills.
Can the triangle be extended to a quadrilateral? Competitiveness.
That can include the desire and gut-busting to run. To make an option for teammates.
How much easier it is to kick to players in space, and not get under pressure because there are no options and so its a long dump kick.
Absolutely. Plays for the highlight reel all too often.Elephant in the room…Bolton !
Fix his ridiculous kicking for goal and “bang”, will be in the top 5 best players in the league.
Does my head in with those quick 80m high snaps from 30 out.
I'm hoping with Dill at the helm, we won't be treated like sh!t anymore, but let's see how long it takes for Ooze to realise what we've gone through under Gill and his goons.Yze has a tough job ahead with the way the draft is compromised, NGA's and priority picks / charity FA hits.
It was our running ability to get more numbers to more contests that was our main strength. We used to out swarm all teams and then had the ability to ramp it up during finals. This has unfortunately gone.And I think that's where we have fallen down the most........Competitiveness! We used to attempt to compete for, at the the very least, EVERYTHING!

It could happen if we are smiled upon by the footy gods.I really hope this guy is good. And I hope the faithful give him time to implement his game plan. And he also needs time to regenerate the list. I really can’t see it being a quick fix, as with McRae at scum, or Kingsley at gws. I would be absolutely staggered if we make finals next year

That - 100% that. I reckon a very large part of why we dropped off is lack of competetitiveness. They lacked the hunger given we'd done it so many times before, and all those extra miles of running caught up with us. Without new blood coming through to keep us fresh (I mean seriously, Dimma loved going back to the well), we had a lack of energy and fight.Can the triangle be extended to a quadrilateral?
