Back to Forward

Yes, this isnt kindergarten football, this is the level where 22 individuals playing football on the same page will achieve more, than 22 individuals which is what you guys seem to be overly focussed on.

Our issues are a lack of team first mentality, which then becomes players getting caught with the footy (as people are focussing on me, rather than we) and the ball being delivered to contests, because why even care whether or not you kick it to your mates advantage, rather than just kicking it in his vicinity?

The game is simple.  Hit targets = good footy.  Collingwood showed us, all you have to do is compete hard, and then deliver the ball to advantage, and any opposition will soon be left powerless to stop you.

It's complicated a bit by a lack of execution and skill.
That's not always because players aren't doing the team thing and making it easier for teammates.
When players under no pressure turn the ball over that's not so much a team thing.
It's not a team thing when your key forwards miss easy goals more often than they kick them.

I just find it bizarre that the only time I feel confident about one of our guys kicking a goal is when Tuohy, a player who plays back most of time, drifts forward and gets a handpass around the 50 metre mark.
