Talking Tactics - Our Forward Structure In 2017

[PaulP]

You just kinda contradicted yourself.

Just because we appear to prefer the slow and steady approach, it doesn't mean you follow it 100% of the time.

Part of the slow and steady approach is to keep possession. If the opportunity presents itself to attack, you take it. If not, keep possession of the ball. Some of the attacking opportunities allow you to move quick and direct to your advantage. However, if you try that all the time, you become predictable and easy to stop.

Yes, I do get it. All teams play a few different ways in a game, depending on the state of play. I understand the "keepings off" style of footy.

We won't be winning too many games if footy unless we can find a way of kicking 100+ points per game. And I want to see more attempts made at upping our scoring ability. I was pleased to see more of this in the Swans game, specifically in terms of having Doc and Simmo as play makers around the ball, initiating and directing our forward thrusts, and generally moving the ball towards the goals rather than sideways or backwards.
