JLT Round 2 - Blues v Pies (11 March, Monday holiday)

[bignic]

Thankyou FB, some of the comments are bordering on insane.

Which ones?

Mackay, has taken one contested mark. We still haven't got an obvious plan when kicking out after a behind is scored. Even Murphy, at half time, criticised the way we enter the forward line.

It's a practice match. we get it.

That being the case, the question is, what the hell are they actually practicing?

If it's the game plan, then perhaps someone can enlighten me as to what is different about this years so called game plan, based on what we have seen in the two games thus far, with what the team delivered last year. We have been told that Bolton went to Harvard, and probably listened to all sorts of sports psychologists crappping on, and  that he's invited the players to barbecues and goes on drives with them to establish a closer relationship bla bla bla.

All fantastic.

But, I thought the idea of the game was to get the ball, kick it to advantage, and outscore your opponent, and you should win the game. Pretty simple really. Yes, you have to defend, and tackle hard, and put in, and concentrate, and give it your all. Those are the basic essentials as to how you play the game.

Now your team may not have the ability to do any of that, which is why you finish at the bottom.

All this stuff, is wrapped up in a game plan. I still, after 3 years, and entering a fourth , have no idea, what Bolton'rs game plan is. And I defy anyone to point out something that the players are doing, which is an example of that plan.

It doesn't matter if it has worked or not, just point one thing that he has told them to do as part of his game plan, which is obvious to you, that I am failing to see.

At this stage, with 5 minutes to play, C/wood are 90 possessions ahead of us, and Mackay just dropped an easy barely contested mark.

It's a huge problem for him!!
