First few weeks it was our young list.
Last couple of weeks it was lack of mid 20 year olds.
This week it's our seniors and their lack of leadership.
Lack of skill but our youngsters are still young, trades are fillers, too many injuries, too offensive, too defensive, specific individuals from week to week, fmd
look at the way we play, how we defend, how we attack
it's a team structure and game plan we lack
We're not going to make the finals let them enjoy their footy and play footy.
He's playing the wrong players in the wrong positions and killing the team, not to mention cripps
We don't lack a structure/game plan at all. We play a defensive structure and game plan to basically limit the damage because the players available at the moment aren't skilled or experienced enough to play high scoring attacking footy.
Our good young players are playing and learning in the roles we want them to and our older players will still butcher the ball no matter what role they play.
As for Crippa, he's thriving in the engine and having his best year yet. Show me any other inside mid and leader who doesn't get banged up. He loves it.
Yes we do lack structure and a proper game plan.
When you don't play the right players in position you deliberately go out to lose.
When you play a slow defensive possession game that telegraphs your attack isn't a game plan.
If you draft/trade unskilful slow dumb players you will never improve or set an example.
When your young players are stifled from growing when played out of position or get into bad habits their potential will be curtailed.
We don't have a proper avenue to goal.
Our young players always look to give off the ball regardless if they are in a better position or not because they haven't been given the authority to attack or take the game on. We haven't used the !@#$% corridor for 10 !@#$ years, nothing has changed.
We play a defensive game to lessen the damage but we play injured players until we grind them into the ground.
Yes we will improve over the next couple of years but if we continue with these preposterous methods don't bet on grand final tickets until after our next rebuild.
