Surely our backline must go into siege mentality mode early in a game when our inevitable skill errors cause turnovers on our half forward line and the ball comes rocketing back at them through the centre.
Those skill errors, unwillingness to chase and consequent lack of pressure on opposition teams must contribute to a losing mindset that has been a feature of the club for most of this century despite a huge turnover in the players list and numerous coaches.
An air of complacency seems to be a feature of the club - how else to explain the recruitment of players with mediocre skills at best and then providing them with no specialised coaching to reach AFL standard?
Harry is a prime example. Why has he not been taught a set routine when taking a set shot for goal? It is quite plain to see that his current method depends entirely on the thought bubble occupying his mind just before taking his kick.
That raises the question: why do we keep recruiting players whose skills will keep us occupying the bottom half of the ladder?
I wish I had the overconfidence of Paul P. At present I am struggling to be in the glass half full frame of mind.
