That is very impressive, North are a rabble again now. At least they were up, as a Glenelg supporter we are just a constant rabble!

The game-plan is shitful. Ball movement is gutless, absolutely gutless. Yeah whatever, our players are hard at it, they're courageous, throw their bodies into dangerous situations but one moment sums up everything Parker goes back takes a courageous mark gets up there's 3 1 on 1's forward..yet doesn't look, looks backwards and sideways 2 or 3 times before he even looks forward. Bombs away, Eagles have had plenty of time to set up and Sheppard of all people takes the intercept mark.
Our players are too frightened to take a risk turning the ball over going forward, so they'd rather do shitty chip, chip, chip sidesways kicks to nothing turn it over with horrible skills. Congest stoppages and play virtually without a forward line, teams know how to counter that pretty easy. Who wants to watch that crap anyway, it's infuriating..boring and doesn't win games it football..the games involved passed that. It's no surprise the brief periods they've actually attacked the game in the last 2 weeks they've strung some goals together.
We've tried to buy the best player in the comp for some marketability, how about playing a decent brand of football...that might bring fans through the gates.
Dew can piss off, hope someone takes him as they're senior coach...besides the ruck situation our midfield set-up is just wrong the amount of time we can barely scrum it forward and the opposition can waltz out because they've got players behind the stoppage is laughable.
Skills are unacceptable, they're getting worse...our foot-skills weren't this bad in 2012 with mostly the same core of players..whoever is primarily responsible for that area can go aswell.
Horse has done enough to stay on, but he needs to be tapped on the shoulder and told to change the game-plan, it's not good for 'marketabilty' and not very good for winning football games against decent sides either. We look ok when we attack, so make them attack stop neutering players with this game style.
McVeigh 16 possessions, Jack 15 possessions...Kennedy 31, all in the leadership group. Pretty obvious to me which one should be captain. Like I said earlier McVeigh and Jack have had their moments as captains and are probably great communicators..they can stay in the leadership group and still be great communicators. We need someone who can lead by example on the field through actions every week.
Would love someone to explain why there always seems to be a 2 on 1 or 3 on 2 in our forward line. I understand it's more complex than saying "just play man on man" but surely it can't be that hard. Time after time our forwards are outnumbered and no wonder why our inside 50 ball use is awful... Hard to spot up a target. I understand our defence might be a bit weak so a spare is handy but surely our forwaard line is one of, if not the best in the comp and deserve 1 on 1 contests. Would love to know why we always seem outnumber and why Horse doesn't seem to do anything about it.
I would've thought a forward line of: Goodes, Franklin, Tippett, Heeney, Parker, Rohan and whoever else would have a coach licking his lips wanting them all 1 on 1The game plan is bullsh!t. Utter bullsh!t.

Why would we want that though? Should back our defenders, forwards and our midfielders two way running I would've thoughtZone gameplan vs ultra conservative and defensive play 1-3 players behind the ball swans style gameplan (3 players behind the ball means 3 less targets up forward and swans forwards outnumbered.
I would have thought Tom Harley would have come with ideas
True
Does horse answer to harley?
Coach answers to the CEO and maybe president of the board.
No one else
Our strength in our forwardline means 1 on 1 greatly benefits us.
Our midfields two way running ability means 1 on 1 would benefit us.
The only weakness would be defence- but even than Nick Smith/Grundy/Richards and even Rampe today aren't awful one on one, just awful at kicking through a zone/press.
If I see us next match against top 4 opposition go man on man all over the ground I'd accept that Horse is at least trying something different- even if it means he can't redevelop a game plan.
Ranked 18th in the league for one-on-one contests is holding up?Note sure what's happened to the coaching team over the last year, but it's like they're stuck in reverse.
Team looks bereft of ideas and like all free thinking has been beaten out of them. Only group of players that are remotely holding up are the defenders. Midfield has shown glimpses and when they're on and firing we're still right up there, but far out, it's so few and far between.
