So he says we should flood back, rather than making rich play accountable footy by hanging forward?
I had this argument many years ago when fev wouldn't leave full forward. My argument was, why would you want him to?
To allow your opponent to make the ground smaller and flood forward? Nope. You need to open space on the rebound and you don't do that by sacking back.
Im no master tactician but in team sports you need to open the play and make the ground bigger when attacking, and you need to close the space and make the ground smaller when defending. That doesn't mean pull your forwards back though. In soccer they have to because of the offside rule. You can't pass to them anyway and it brings defenders up the ground rather than flooding back.
In footy when defending, you should have a get out kick on each wing and flank, and one at true Chf. This should make your opposition spread their defenders and cause some chaos. We seem to allow them to hunt in packs.
Why? We move the ball poorly. Its not a coaching or system issue. It's a lack of understanding among teammates. I think we need some consistency in selection and coaching more than anything else. Injuries are hurting this as much as anything else.
Stick with the system. It will work eventually.
