where to now

[KnightersRevenge]

hardwick needs to change up his game plan, and needs to get some natural forwards in the team. we need to get more efficient.

Jack, Vic, Lennon, McJeebus, Lids, Martin there is a good mix of forwards and players who play well up forward already. What we need is to know how to handle pressure. Jack, Dusty, Maric, Grimes, Vickery - today at least - all handled the pressure. Then how to apply pressure and get the other side in trouble. Martin does this naturally, so does Jack. We need the whole team to understand what that involves.

Step 1 don't panic

Step 2 sign Lennon and guarantee him a game all year

Step 3 get C Ellis fit

Step 4 Bring in yarran and find another contested mid (Redden)

Step 5 sign a free agent ruckman

Step 5 Stevie j as forwards coach

We could do worse than that.

Okay with everything there except step 2. I don't agree with guaranteeing someone a game all year just because you're worried they may leave, especially a 3rd year player. If he's good enough his performances will get him a game, not some guarantee or holding the club to ransom.

Lennon will hopefully be the classy mid size forward we wanted. Need to find the goal sneak though.

I get your point. Should read give him an opportunity to play all year

That I can agree with, although according to his thread he's off to Carlton in the PSD.

the fact that we were ranked 1 for marks and 18th for play on from marks shows that our game plan is too static and conservative. we need to get more run, dare and attack into our game, but doubt hardwick will change things up.

Yep, becomes too predictable when we don't play on at all.
