Should we go after a ready made forward

Re: Should we go after a ready made forward

Welcome aboard the Schulz bandwagon - seats are filling fast

Maybe we should trade for Schultz and get Hogan in the mini-draft


The only trouble would be getting Mac to wear a monocle.

Re: Should we go after a ready made forward

I think there's a bit of chicken and egg with our ball movement.

We go short and sideways because we've got no forwards leading up and providing an option to kick to, and the forwards aren't leading because we keep going short and sideways. When Williams was playing forward and busting a gut to provide an option (which generally only lasted a half) our ball movement looked better.

No forwards leading up or no actualy forwads in the forward line because they are all in our defensive half?

This happens more often for all teams the way the game is played, but where are our speedsters running back to goal like crazy when we get the ball in the defensive half?

We have less spread than frozen butter.

I reckon we have tried Campbell, Williams, Lake, Jones, Cordy, Ruffy and Minson as a key forward and none of them have really demanded the ball on the lead very well. Williams probably the best results.

They lead a few times and get the ball kicked at their feet or over their head so they stand their with their hands in the air and wait for the ball to be kicked before running to wherever it goes.

We need faster ball movement and to stop crabbing so much as the opposition simply use this time to flood back.

Another top post Savage. Go and watch a replay of the North game and have another stab. He may not be a gun and may never be but what jollies do you get from pot shots on the net at a kid that is doing his best in a shit side?

Your constant slagging of is pretty tiresome.

Sorry, I wont have an opinion unless it is yours, but is that slagging off at someone on the net...oh just like you did. Well done.

Excellent. I am glad you see the error of your ways.
