Run & Direction

Post by Mick »

It comes down to these two factors which have dropped away incredibly.

Run - we have stopped running the lines. We have stopped running with the ball. We have stopped running to create the loose man. We have stopped running to get front and centre of pack spills. We have stopped running to present a hard lead at the footy. We have stopped running to put pressure on the opposition. We have stopped running between the opposition and the goals.

Direction - start of the year - up the middle to Bucks or Pebbles - big goal. Now its around the boundary all the way. Short kicks in the back line or long bombs to 80m out. Indirect footy.

The answer will only come from focussing on these issues.

Some changes anyway:
In - Michael, S Rocca, Johnson
Out - McKee, Tuckey, Licuria

Too Right! The thing with going down the wings continually in rediculous and I wish they would play alot more directly. You are also right that they aren't running, but they look so tired. See the team the other day? Anyway it will impove this weeks (hopefully).
