List Mgmt. 2026 List management - pt.1
Winning clearance by wacking it on the boot is one thing, having someone who can win the ball clean and dish a centre metre perfect handball to someone sitting on the outside so they can stream forward under little pressure is something else. We also need someone to help us to control the... -

Autopsy Swans/umps vs Saints
This is the key, do we set up the team to score in a way that is efficient and most importantly repeatable. We are not at the moment, long bombs to a pack of players will never be high percentage play. You’re right, other top sides like Swans, Fremantle can hit forwards on the lead or in space... -

Autopsy Swans/umps vs Saints
This game plan of manic pressure ahead of skill execution is the problem, it seems most of the team can’t execute basic skill sometimes, same under Richo and Ratten days, I’d prefer we ease off on the manic tackle pressure/full field aggressive press and use skills to kick some regulation mark... -

Autopsy Swans/umps vs Saints
Think needs to thank our genius tactician Enright for that, he is the only one left after Richo/Ratten and we still play the same style, except the occasional quick transition when we have free players everywhere. I hope Carlton or Essendon take him. -

Game Day Rnd 13 | Sydney Swans v St Kilda SCG | Sunday June 7 | 3:15pm
40 seconds on the clock, Hill still kicks long down the line. Why? waste as much time aa possible, then try to find a short kick, the stupid long bomb down the line kick is just the dumbest in football, and this is our go to plan, why? Marshall can’t ruck. Got killed by Grundy in the last... -

Really think what we are missing is a consistent ball pig like Neale. Just a lazy 37 posessions today. -

Call me a cynic. Sadly that’s probably the most likely outcome, he’ll have balls kicked on his head all game and crunched by pack of players including his own teammates. -

Hayes was a forward playing ruck so he has forward craft, Marshall hasn’t show he can be a consistent forward. No, we apply a full frontal aggressive press when opposition has the ball in their back half. Basically every player behind the ball push up to apply tackle pressure on the ball... -

I think Marshall should be deployed forward more, not as a pack mark location, but as a leading and one out against single defender forward, TDK too. Ask Sharman and Owens to occupy/lead into opposition pockets/foward 50 position. If that happens and we should score more easily. Relying on pack... -

List Mgmt. 2026 List management - pt.1
The elephant in the room here is our game style, we don’t take any risks when transition the ball forward and purely rely on hitting a free man in the open, when the game is congested then we are back to long bomb down the line, no over lap runs and no hitting players on the lead. Looks like we... -

Don’t forget he also has the best tap ruckman in the AFL to work with, compared to one of the worst. -

Autopsy Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn
This is exactly the point, good sides have a game plan that is efficient and repeatable/sustainable, we just rely on pressure/flood and opposition mistakes. Night and day in effectiveness, I've said this before, we can have Locket, Dunstall and prime Carey in our side, and we would still... -

Autopsy Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn
The problem is our zone/positioning of our players, we tend to bunch together to pressure / win the ball, and when we win the ball, there's no one ahead of the ball and we have no space to get it to the outside player streaming forward, so it's a byproduct of our flood to help the... -

Autopsy Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn
Why can't the coaches see it, more inside 50s via long bombs to a big pack is low %, kicking to the pockets is low %, slow play waiting for a man to free up is low %, might as well play instinctive football like the 80s/90s and rely on player talent/want for the contests to win you football... -

Also Henry is not a small forward, he is a wing/hf flanker, don't have the physicality of others to tackle and stick them. Agree Butler's body is now breaking down more often so cannot be relied on. That leaves Higgins and Ryan who are more your marking forwards and don't apply pressure that...
