Inside 50 and how we can improve on our opportunities

[Happy Days]

Chaos ball!!! I love this suggestion.

I always wondered what would happen if we played a forward line of (for example) Honeychurch, Hrovat, Dahl, Stringer, Daniel and Hunter and just drilled the ball in with dribble kicks.

I mean, I *know* what would happen, but it would be fun to see.

It would throw the game a huge curve ball. One tall forward like Boyd with the likes of Stringer, Crameri, McLean, Dickson, Daniel and Hunter would be a handful for opposition defenders. Chaos entries all day. McLean could kick 4 all from free kicks.

We should take advantage of our strengths and enter the 50 by kicking the ball along the ground. We rarely lose the ground ball and guys that cant kick a set shot from 20m out in front seem to be able to nail bananas, snap from 45 or backwards from the boundary under pressure.

MJP suggested this at the start of last year. Chaos it in and lock it in.

Can we talk more about crumpets?

I have crumpets on my menu, made in melbourne by Dr Martys. So much better than the ones from the supermarket.

Jam or honey?

Nutella, fresh strawberries, macadamias and greek yogurt

Maybe not along the ground, but hard and flat instead of rain makers would be better.

Lets save it for the prelim then!

Just to blow my own trumpet I think I suggested it back in the 2009 prelim final era. It'not the worst idea, just need a code word when we feel we have the matchups in our favour to activate it and away you go.

Alternatively instead of our centre clearances aiming for the hot spot why don't we aim for the space about 30m out in the pockets and have all our quick guys playing in front ready to run forward to the drop off the ball. Saves us from having a big pack with multiple key defenders and means our quicker forwardline could get the jump on them.

That's how I would work it too. Not every time, not even every game but often enough to have opposition defenders wondering what sort of kick they will be defending.

Common wisdom says you must have at least one tall in the forward line just to bring the ball to ground so the little guys can compete for it. Why not have all little guys and dribble the ball along the ground? Same result more little guys to compete.

Yes in 09 I believe we relied not on a tall forward but of the smallish type attacking mids to get our goals.

You're a visionary. I'd love to see this happen.
By the way, what would the code word be?

It's Tardis time.

Crumpet

I don't think a word would work. It would have to be a certain kicker or a really obvious secret signal.

[Twodogs]

Or just do it. Keep everyone guessing.
