One thing is for certain... l,ll bet my balls on it... Ben Brown will get free kicks
BOG last week according to BrownIf they don't drop Garthwaite I'm gonna melt
it's entirely possible the playing directors know this and would rather keep it in our forward line rather than give them free and open posession from full-back.
This article is actually a good analysis of our issues in attack. Teams are flooding our forward line, which leads to us being outnumbered there. This means that we struggle to mark the ball or apply pressure.
We should stop kicking in long when a team does this. We either should hit up short targets inside 50 or just run the ball in and take a shot at goal from a long while away. Yeah that means less accuracy but that beats scoring nothing from an inside 50. I really hope that Hardwick and the boys notice this and change it up because it doesn’t appear like they have against Sydney.
He did.. waiting for video to be put in Richmond site.. shouldn’t be longwhy didnt dimma do a pressa this morning ?
he just did onewhy didnt dimma do a pressa this morning ?
If you look back sort of pre 2017 our biggest issue apart from losing consistently was our poor general level of kicking skills. What we did was then go hey, let's work to our strengths, speed, tenacity and just win the contests and suffocate the opposition until they cough the ball up.

I think that our ability to score is going to be paramount to winning. It’s fine to structure defensively, but I don’t think that kicking 34 points is going to be a winning score very often.it's entirely possible the playing directors know this and would rather keep it in our forward line rather than give them free and open posession from full-back.
I agree that it isn’t our strength, but I just feel like we need to find a way out of our dilemma with teams like this. Port Adelaide does the same thing so we need to find a way. Bombing just does not work and as you said because we’re not skilled enough to hit medium-length targets inside 50 consistently as evident in the Sydney game. I just wanted them to start kicking for goal from about 40-45 metres out more regularly instead because the other two options tend to be a waste of time most of the time (bombing long and threading the needle so to speak). At least we’ll hopefully keep the scoreboard ticking that way as I know we have players that can at least make that distance. 14 scoring shots from 53 inside 50s (26%) is just not good enough. Against Hawthorn it was 33% and against Collingwood it was 25%. We were usually at 35%-50% last year for most games. What’s happening now is well below that.If you look back sort of pre 2017 our biggest issue apart from losing consistently was our poor general level of kicking skills. What we did was then go hey, let's work to our strengths, speed, tenacity and just win the contests and suffocate the opposition until they cough the ball up.
Fast forward to 2020 and opposition sides are adding numbers to their defensive 50 it means as you mention long bombing doesn't work but the alternative is to lower the eyes and find targets with precise kicks, that my friends then exposes our weakness.
I still believe we have very few in the side with the level of kicking skills in order to execute an eyes down style of play. My feeling is we compromise, don't bomb it long but don't try to thread the proverbial needle either. Simply get the ball along the ground into areas of the forward 50 that you can effectively defend and cause the turnovers we are known for.
I hope Garthwaite gets another game
