Today we had the 3 Witches Hats.
Hard to win in this comp, let alone when the you have 3 players whose best skill is Standing the Mark. I'm thinking the chip board cutouts they have at training, that stand the mark, could apply more pressure on an opponent.
If Crippa and 3 gamer Walsh get injured I doubt we would beat a top 4 VFL team.
Lobbe tried but alas he got smashed and as a result we got toweled inside and outside.
I keep hearing we have a system.
Can some please dot point 5 aspects to our system. I sit and I watch and I can't see what it is. I see no cohesion entering forward 50 and I see no system exiting D50.
We don't chip to hold possession and deny the opposition.
We don't play fast, play on at all costs footy to attempt had Harry one on one.
We kick long down the line but we don't work hard enough to swarm the eventual contest and ground ball.
We rarely overlap.
Handball receives at fall tilt are like hens teeth
We rarely switch play at any great speed. Our slow motion switching of play just allows the Opposition time to set up.
We don't work hard enough to spread and open the angles
We don't play the Pagans Paddock.
We do zone defense but we allow the short kick to about 45 for a safe shot on goal.
We don't use the corridor.
Honestly WTF do we do that I am missing?
Today I had some love for Crippa, Walsh, Jones, Harry and Ed but much of the rest pfft.

I could not agree with you more
I was there as well
How many times did Sydney take it from the kick in to their F50 without 1 contest. We are protecting space with no thought to the fact that Sydney's field kicking is deadly accurate
And...why do our forwards virtually give up the F50 defending form a kick in and and start defending in the middle. It's as though we gift them the first 80m or so
We are an U12 handball team. Its a pet hate and I started a thread about it
Our kicks to contests are driving me nuts...MM stuff all over again
Gibbons need to go into the middle where he can harass the opposition. He seems to have terrier like mentality but can't find his feet in F50
I know its bc of our young bodies but to paraphrase Lloyd Bridges for Flying High, "Bolton picked the wrong season to remove Ed and Murph from the middle" With the 666, our skinny mids are getting ragdolled and the opposition invariably get the first possession that goes inside their F50
And when we do overlap, the handball is either shite or the handballer cannot see that the person running past is going to get tackled.
