Watch the GWS guys switching last night. Quick kicks, to open players and moving the ball forward.
Contrast to our guys who kick sideways, the bloke marks, goes back from the mark, looks through a 180 degree arc to assess options, picks one option, decides against it then picks another option, which by that time is a 3 on 1 contest in the opposition favour, and kicks.
When we do it quickly, we look a much better side. I dont know if it's about not being drilled in moving the ball on quickly, if it's about potential receivers not getting into the right positions or what.
Good points, Docherty is a loss in that area of switching play, of recent times we have seen even Levi having a crack at switching play :-X, we dont have a lot of those visionary type players who can
spot up a player and hit them with a bullet pass and then that player in turn hit up a player running at full tilt running down a wing and create an overlap.
