Now your testing my memory.

With the game being reliant on mids over the last 10-15 years I can safely say never.

We would have to go back to when Jose Romero couldn't get a senior game.

You could have thrown our 2010 midfield in that era and we still would have won convincingly

I am concerned if the tactics displayed in the VFL today are anything to go by.

What tactics are those Snakes? :stern look

What tactics are those Snakes? :stern look

Overcooking the footy and constantly playing lateral and wide.

In fairness to the VFL coaches, they were well undersized, so it could have been a designed tactic on the day.

Thanks. Thought there was a bit of that going on in the JLT. Hopefully it is an aberration. :stern look

At the 3 quarter time huddle Scott was imploring the defenders to spread hard as soon as we won the ball and to use the width of the ground. Thats all well and good when the mids and half forwards can get on their bikes too and into the space further up the ground but conditions, and available talent made that very difficult to do today. The emphasis would not be on winning the game though, moreso on ensuring the VFL boys are playing to the same style the senior boys are to play, which in fairness with the likes of Dumont, Polec, Hall and Higgins we will be able to do. A stretched opposition then gives these guys the opportunity to hit up forwards more easily.

Im all for more kicking. Quicker ball movement and harder running = a more open forward line.

 

[Rooboys Rool]

So Ahern and TT played today. Therefore Larkey and Hrovat travelling emergencies?

 

[kaboom kid]

I love that now in the AFL we measure pressure acts, but the biggest pressure act of them all is not counted......

Kicking goals, it puts the best pressure of them all on an opposition side..... scoreboard pressure.

Aren't the goals recorded on the scoreboard and the player stats? Am I missing the point here?

Clarke has already destroyed Sydney.
We don't have him any more, so we should be more positive this year.

 

[king rising]

Cannot wait for tomorrow, we should have enough power to win and kickstart 2019 with a bang

 

[GoldSoundz]

Clearly Fyfe needs to have a blinder for Freo to win. What’s our plan to manage his impact as a mid and resting forward. I don’t mind him getting 30 touches, just need to keep him to a couple of score involvements.

When he's resting forward he's not in the middle, therefore Freo's chances of getting the ball forward significantly diminish.

 

[kaboom kid]

Were so close to a game day thread I can smell it. Everyone get ready to be outrageously over-dramatic and emotional

Standing by....

Warned those daft bastards on the Sydney board of what they were in for, was told to piss off.

This just makes it all the more sweeter. He's your problem now assholes.

 

[FlyHigh18]

Brisbane flooding deep 50 with small forwards worked like a charm. This season is going to be chaotic and even more unpredictable than the last.
