So Morgan....they havent got the pace, acceleration or agility to beat quality backs you say, but they have enough of all the above factors to play Roly's gameplan....ie run all the way back, create the fustercluck, get posession of the ball, then run and spread forward, and hopefully they've got the skills to allow a pathway to goal.
Its just so senseless!! Apart from the fact that generally, after doing all the above - maybe a few times in vain - they are 'too stuffed' to kick the ball accurately.
Again, just senseless. !
'Our bloke' is using a 'too smart by half' gameplan that is completely confounding to young, inexperienced players, has high chance of failure, consistently leads to low scoring patterns, is an ugly, unattractive and inefficient way to play footy, and can easily be broken down by every other team in the league by the application of pressure.
And yet, not only do we allow 'our bloke' to continue to do it - unfettered and never queried - what concerns me most, - is that blokes like you & Jezza continue to fly his flag , and, in your case, your excusing him doing it that way because - in short - 'we haven't got the cattle'.
It is no fluke that 3 of the final 4 teams in the finals utiilse atrategies that have atay at home forward lines, and that they achieve high scoring outcpmes as a result. If Hogan was involved in the finals, you'd probably find that would be 4 out of 4.
Is it just because 'they've got the cattle' to do this, or is it because the strategy has allowed the players to 'shine' ..
