    Analysis What is a zone defence?

    Here are the basics and I don't think we get it. If you are setting up a defence in footy (call it zoning, guarding space, guarding a man, whatever...) if someone comes into the area that you are defending and you can't get to that man - then you are not defending him. If you stand in a...

    Pies (and other unnamed clubs) on the gear

    It's been said, but isn't it incredible that with Lachie Keeffe and Josh Thomas suspended so recently, that the other players would chance using drugs. Of course there is no real information here. For example, we don't know which drugs. If players are in an environment where marijuana is...

    Player Watch Darrean Wyatt (Delisted 2016)

    I think we're trying to be too clever. This is not how we built our teams of 2010/11 or how Hawthorn has structured theirs. It's all window dressing this category B rookie stuff

    Strategy Could Pendles permanently play the "quarter back" role down back next year?

    Just about the best 1,2,3 draft combination was Hodge, Judd, Ball. Hodge is the only one still going round and I think it's in no small way related to the fact that he plays significant game time outside the midfield. Pendles should be given any avenue to get out of the midfield. We might get an...

    List Mgmt. Jeremy Howe

    Let's see how undisciplined we can be. Have Elliot or Howe try to take mark of the year every week. In the meantime we don't have a small forward (like Steve Johnson) with genuine goal sense

    Player Watch Nathan Freeman

    What a lottery the draft is. We take the Dom Sheed or Patrick Cripps (drafted after Freeman) and we'd reckon the recruiters were total genius material. Seems the 2013 draft was quite strong and not a good one to get wrong. Hasn't shaped as particularly successful for us just yet

    Seedsman gone?

    The guy was picked #76 in the draft. He would be as aware as anyone that people drafted at that late stage rarely have long successful careers. He has his positive attributes - kicking distance (at this stage), certainly not accuracy and little else. He's probably tried hard but is not up to...

    Steve Johnson

    The guys oozes football knowledge. He can play mid and in particular as a small forward. In recent years we've lost small forwards with goal sense like Krakouer and Didak (and Caracella :)). Elliot and Fasolo are not talented small forwards in the same way Johnson can be. I can only see up-side...

    Analysis Pies made mistakes.

    All this talk about Leon Davis is very interesting. My view is that while he was all Australian in 2011, that was while he was playing in a backline of a team that finished with year with a percentage of 170. Leon Davis may have been exciting and a good kick, but I can't think of a time where he...

    Perspective

    My perspective - I have no idea what our best team looks like. Not since August 2011 have we had our full strength team on the field and those players in relative fitness. Maybe the coaching staff are in some part at fault for this, but since before Buckley's tenure we haven't had a full, fit...

    What to do with Ben Reid

    What to do with Ben Reid

    A strong forward line takes pressure off the midfield and by extension the backline. Getting Reid in form so that he is a genuine option up forward is the necessary jigsaw piece as far as overall team balance and performance

    What to do with Ben Reid

    Must be played. A game against West Coast followed by relatively easier games against brisbane then GWS. Finally in round 23 gets a run against hawthorn as a lead into the finals.

    Mason Cox...showing some promise

    Jason Dunstall used to play soccer as a kid. That MUST be a good sign
