I think Lyon has talked about making things simpler. Coaches in other sports talk about continuity. We don’t have that at Freo. Make of that what you will, but my view is the players learn how to play together over time. Doubtless the coach plays a role in that, especially the line coaches, but there’s no substitute for repitition and our list has very little experience playing together.
RM, Hawthorn had people forward in the first quarter, and when the Tigers took control of the contest they didn’t. When that happens at Freo you suggest it is the coach that instructs the players to leave the forward line which causes us to lose because there is no-one to kick to. Would you also suggest the Clarkson instructed, say Roughead, to avoid the forward 50?
