I think people automatically assume the mids delivery is crap and the forwards are blameless. I think it's more complicated than that.Indeed.
[1] Our forwards rarely lead. They don't because nobody kicks it to them on the lead. However, nobody lowers their eyes if nobody leads.
[2] Our small forwards don't get crumbs and don't keep pressure on the opposition, so the ball comes out too easily.
[3] Our forwards don't make room for each other, so there is little space for any of them to move into.
[4] We move the ball very slowly, so there is usually a mismatch as to numbers and not in our favour.
[5] Our skills are poor, so we often turn the ball over, and get caught out on the fast rebound.
[6] Our small forward in particular appear to be very slow.
Live Long and Prosper!
