We need to have a spread of leading forwards, no more of this bombing and hoping.
We have always burst out of the backline and pin pointed passes up the wing only to automatically play on and bomb the ball to a 2 or 3 on 1. Hasn't worked and will never work!
We need to get the ball to half forward then assess the options, we seem to play on regardless and the forwards are never in the right position because they are buggered from running from the backline. :
leave 2 or 3 targets up forward with the instruction to lead in patterns and the ball carrier to honour the leads.
Works for other teams so why not us? :o
We can work the overlap quite well and spot up short passes down the ground but for some reason we get within 70m of goal and we put the brain in the back pocket and go the up and under EVERY ... SINGLE ... TIME!
This is not anything Bolton, Malthouse or Barker seem to be able to control.
There is a combination of dumb positioning / leads from the forwards and some bizarre ball use.
There is a mental block our blokes need to get over somehow but we can't keep repeating the same mistakes can we?
