@ Thry

I'm not sure what your argument is.

He made a poor decision and a poor kick? What's not to get?

He kicks to this area very often coming out of the backline.

I'll get to it.  Bear with me.  Sometimes, I need people to get to a certain spot, so that I can present an argument without it being dismissed as BS or some misguided belief in Malthouse.

The part in bold is the key to fixing our woes.

Get people making better decisions, and executing better under pressure.  Walker is a soft target.  Has probably had the worst last 2 years out of everyone on our list, bar Kreuzer and Giles.

Aside from that, this part in bold applies to almost every player on our list in varying capacities.  The modern game relies on the ability to maintain posession and moving the ball quickly.  If we are a team of poor kicks and decision making why are we wondering why we are sitting bottom of the ladder and unable to compete?

The answer to that question was apparently to do with Malthouse and his coaching, but last I checked a new coach and game plan wont rectify an inability to hit targets and improve the ability to make good decisions on the field.

We can take the degree of difficulty out of the equation by changing the game plan, or we can even make it easier by changing the position (which seems to be what you are advocating here and that will possibly work) but it will not take us to where we need to go.  I cannot think of a premiership team that made poor decisions and butchered the ball by foot and accomodated players in areas to lessen that impact. Something we have done for too long.
