Back to Forward - Lods - 05-03-2015
You remember in the days when you were young and the game wasn't going to plan so the coach switched all the backs to forwards.
Let's do that.
Yarran, Buckley, Walker, Tuohy, Rowe, Jamison.....all forward.
F: Buckley, Jamison, Walker
HF: Yarran, Rowe ,Tuohy
Seriously though....we have a real problem in the forward line.
Apart from Henderson (every couple of weeks) and Menzel (when he plays) we've got nothing.
We're lacking in both tall and small forwards.
Now obviously it's not possible (and pretty silly)to move them all.
Yarran and Buckley provide that important run out of defence.
But most of those players provide something that could be useful up forward.
Walker is one that should definitely be moved. He's giving us limited value down back.
Tuohy is probably our most accurate goalkicker :
and if he has the ball anywhere around the 50 metre line he's a good chance.Would he be of more value playing at half forward (either of the other two Irish lads could possible fill his spot in defence.)
At the very least send Walker and Tuohy forward.

SoS to the back line, Fev to the forward ;D
Walker will probably be forced forward, there's a start.

Depends whether we are trying to "win at all costs" or "list managing"? ???

I think they have tried that in principal, except the backline keeps forgetting to go forward.
The forward line is certainly very comfortable in the back half and seem to spend most of their time there.
Maybe thats why we can't score.........there is noone in the forwardline, I wonder if ther coaches have noticed!

Maybe we should send everyone forward...all out attack.
I'm sure the players would enjoy it more

Isn't part of the problem that we have all of our players in the backline. Perhaps we could try have a couple of blokes playing forward of the centre.
I always thought we were stuffed when SOS got moved forward. Did we win many games when that happened?
Re: Back to Forward - LP - 05-04-2015
I don't think the current coach has an attack first mindset!
But I understand the sentiment because we play football the U10s anyway, get ball, slam boot, run to stoppage, everybody around the ball playing in the mud!
We look like we are there for the lollies at 1/2 time!
Re: Back to Forward - ItsOurTime - 05-04-2015
I think we've seen most of our defenders as forwards? Might be better off with seconds to firsts

Like the day Fev got moved to Full back and got 5 kicked on him in a quarter. ;D

That's Forward to Back....That trick never works (at least not since Jesaulenko)
