Sorry to offend with a failed attempt at humour. Will try to do better with my next comment by keeping it serious.

Do a smiley until people work out your default.

Everyone just assumes I'm talking rubbish now it's refreshing.

Is the drastic move we need to make is move Bailey Dale forward?

Play him out of the goal square as our leading target. He played this role successfully in late 2019 and is a beautiful kick for goal.

The downside is we loose his drive and creativeness out of the back half.

The upside is he is he has footy nous, forward craft and will take his opportunities when he has a shot at goal.

I would leave him where he is. He is playing well, he gained an AA in the role. Defence is already under pressure

Hmm - it's an interesting proposition. To be honest I think he's now overtaken Caleb in that role off half back. I think Weightman should be able to do the same thing but just needs more time.

Caleb forward? (Total spitball you've led me to).

I think we need Caleb delivering the ball inside 50. A marginal % set shot from Naughton at 48m out on the boundary is a poor return right now. We need to find free players who have a better chance of kicking the goal and that means our best kick in play has to get more chances to deliver it.

Yes it's as much about where you take the shots from isn't it.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round Five v North Melbourne at Marvel

Perhaps something like this against North.

Backs: Duryea Gardner Richards
HBack: Dale O'Brien Daniel
Centre: Hunter Dunkley Treloar
HForw: B.Smith Ugle-Hagan Liberatore
Forward: Weightman Naughton, Schache
Rucks: English Bontempelli Macrae
InterC: McNeil, Williams, Hannan, West

Out: Vandermeer, Scott, Butler

GVGjr I notice that you left McNeil in the team, after his attempt at goal that caused me having an attack of colic, what does he bring to our team, perhaps i have missed something, but i can remember our coach in the under 15's hauling me off the ground for a similar kick, and no interchange in those days. I am sorry to come down on the lad, but he does not deserve to be in the ones with that performance.

A lot of our shots are from close to the 50m arc. However, Naughton does miss alot from 30m out, but others who have missed are kicking from a long way out. Somehow we need to find targets within 30m. but because of the way we play, ie continually locking the ball in the forward half, our 50m arc is clogged with players, making it hard to find a target.

Caleb playing around wing would be good for delivering the ball to the forwards.

If you can create turnovers and springboard into attack quickly it should be open. What is most frustrating is time after time when this happens we seem to kick it to the advantage of the one out of position defender instead of into the dangerous space for the forward to run on to ! /rant

It is definitely robbing Peter to pay Paul but I’m out of ideas how to improve our inside 50 functioning.

If we don’t get it right soon, we are in danger of missing the top 8 - let alone top 4.

This is the issue. We miss the opportunity when the Fwd50 is open, then the ball is stuck down there and the opposition flood in.

McNeil does bring pace into the team and the ability to break lines on the turnaround. With VDM out, he stays.

Agreed he should get another chance, I like his agility and smarts.

He's only 20 years old and still very much in the development phase of his career. It's easy to forget with the receding hairline and him having been drafted out of the SANFL Seniors.
