Verbeek & Livlovers posts spot on.
No, they displayed a lack of understanding of what's required to establish and perfect the structures they expect.....just like your post has.
Our players are coming from miles behind. The set ups and structures required take years of practice and implementation to perfect. Meanwhile, our team which finished bottom 2 for the majority of the past 6 years ran the reigning premiers to within 4 points. We had more scoring shots, more inside 50s and in reality, were unlucky to lose the game. That doesn't happen by accident.
It occurred because the coach that recieved a paragraph of "cons" has the most exciting young team in the AFL playing strong, consistent, competitive footy.
Some of the ill informed rants in this thread are mind numbing.
Spot on. Hence my criticism on verbeek on page 1 ( for you too dannyboy
)
The players are being taught some things which are not coming easily to the ones who spent 5 years scared of making a skill error lest they be humiliated by a certain individual. So at times when they feel the pressure, like in the intense zones, they fall back to older habits.
And I disagree Heady - on saturday it was not that we fell back in to old habits at all. In fact we have come a long, long way as evidenced by the game. It now remains to be seen whether we can take the next step ( which I am not expecting to occur any time soon by the way).
I think we forgot past lessons (and why we went with Robbo and Garlett early) and chose a slower side on the weekend. We have to be careful we do not leave it to too few to do the chasing.
I want to see evidence that we know the importance of working the mark and stuff like that.
They are just two cons that we need to work on.
And its good to see what we need to work on.
I think Ratts would have seen it too
