Maybe we should switch to a “Total football” system, it worked for Ted.

Total football.....

https://youtu.be/HqMNciLw2f8

Yeah, I switched in the vfl game at the start of the third quarter and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. We kicked it long to the same defender in the same pocket about 7 times in a row. Just kick to kick basically. And even though all our forwards knew where we were going to kick it, and which defender was going to mark it, they could never manage to spoil him.

Nothing more and nothing less than insanely dumb coaching in VFL and AFL. Moore from Pies and Marty Hore from the Gulls say thank you for the easy marking practise.

Truly insane repeating something that doesnt work.

Interesting take.
I think most of us know we lack the depth and spread of the better teams above us.
I don't disagree that we are currently a mid tier team though as far as our list goes.
But that can be changed with 2 or 3 of the right mature players added to the team.
The question is do they want to come here the way we are playing.

Grigg went to Tigers. They were what seemed a basket case, but he was offered the coach's support and more game time.

Selling the dream.

Its not like we haven't got the main bits to turn our plight into a Premiership team.

Need a couple of the right targets and go to work on them. These things take time.

Next, development. What do we want out developing players to look like when they are the finished product? Get to work.

Weitering
Young
Pittonet
Cripps
McKay
Curnow

There's a spine. Whose the weakest link? But are they weak and can they play an important role?

Get Leppetich in as an assistant ... NOW ... before he is gone.

Gone where? Leppitsch is at the pies

my bad. i had it in my head that he was with the tigers

What would happen if we kept forwards "at home" and didnt push everyone right up the field?

What would the other team do if Mckay just stayed in the goal square and only led 30metres out in either direction and Durdin was to his right and Motlop to his left?

If Curnow only roamed 50 meter arc up to the centre square and had Kemp/JSOS floating around the 50 and another small/mid by his side?

Wings would have to run a lot up and down as would the midfield and we'd possibly be outnumbered in defence? or would we if we kept them home then other teams defenders would have to stay too?

Just pondering

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Your looking for answers that aren’t there
We aren’t good enough
But Voss needs to experiment
Charlie is clearly our best player
Play him as a mid
Has the tank
And my gut feeling is McKay would play better as the number one key forward

But Voss needs to go past Mc Govern JOS Acres Pittonet Boyd
Play Kemp Binns Cowan TDKCincotta
Make a statement about the future
Play Cripps forward Saad wing
