I think a good example is actually Boak, Rockliff and Ebert having good days in the absence of the injured Wines and departed Wingard, when Wines returns will Boak or Rockliff fade?
The stats say they have to fade, because the average number of possessions do not continue to rise without cap! Despite building a formidable midfield, perhaps twice the depth of our own, Collingwood do not have twice as many possessions.
Our problem is clearances and was last season too, without Wines we should have dominated Port...we all know Rockliff is a hack in comparison to Cripps or Wines and to allow him to dominate
was inexcusable and poor planning from the box...he had 44 possies the week before and we just let him run around on his own until Settefield went onto him but it was all too late.
We do it all the time and I pointed out the Mitchell farce last season where he was allowed to run around and get 40 easy possies and 3 Brownlow votes...
We have the talent now, we just dont have the brains in the box to use it or any planning ability.....you look at Philips left to fight it out with Lycett and Ryder after what they did to a much better player in Gawn.
Do we do any scouting or planning for games?....do we actually know who the opposition are or just rock up on the day and hope for the best.
Hinkley tagged Fisher...he did his homework.....he also started with Ebert at FF on Jones knowing our man has struggled with that tactic before......
The coaching box is where the problem is......
