2017 Game Plan

[mightypowerrrr]

So we have hardly any KPFs and not much class, how do we plan to attack the new season?

 

[Power Raid]

jarmen impey is just 2cm shorter than Brett Ebert, so we aren't that short on KPFs

 

[Troopsy]

KICK IIIT!!!!

But seriously, I'm not sure.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Thread coming along swimmingly.

Win the premiership, all 4 2016 draftees star, 1 of which wins the norm smith, Wingard wins the Coleman and Brownlow.

That's ports gameplan

That's awesome.

I'd love to see Hamish start deep forward with stints thru the midfield swapping with Robbie.

2017 game plan??? I'm still trying to work out 2016's. I think it's got something to do with panic kick ball on Charlie Dixons head but I will have to do more research and get back to you.

I would love to see Brad Ebert play CHF.

Actually, that's not the worst thing I've heard

Something I have been wanting for a while now. Has an incredible contested grab and will run any defender off their feet. 190cm, so he's not tiny. Despite his field kicking being suspect sometimes, he is a great shot on goal.

WIN

Was having this discussion with Portia in the Trade Week thread, where she wanted us to run something similar to a West Coast offense and I said I think we're trying to run something similar to an Air Coryell offense.

The offensive attack was predicated on the deep strike, Fouts would note later.

"The first thing in our offense was always the bomb," Fouts said. "It was built into almost every pass play, where the quarterback initially looks for that chance to hit the big one. And I think if you start with that premise and then work your way back toward the line of scrimmage, that's the Air Coryell offense."

I think our gameplan was completely ****ed by two things happening - Ryder and Monfries getting suspended, which robbed us of clear air with clearances, and a complete misread of effect that the reduction in rotations would have on opposition defenses. We thought that everyone would pace themselves to get through the season, but pretty much every side that made finals went as hard as they could to build up a bank of wins and then fell over the line at the end. Look at North and Adelaide as prime examples of that. The Dogs were so fresh for finals with all their injuries and getting key players back at the right time, so they were able to take advantage of that.

So because these sides were conditioned for acceleration and power instead of endurance during the off-season, every side we played against did the equivalent of a pass rush - and that meant that what is meant to be just the first option - that long bomb to the forward line for the huge gain - became the ONLY option, because we had been conditioned to do that.

I would love to see Brad Ebert play CHF.

He certainly catches the ball better than big Dix

 

[shewho]

You lost me at the end of that, Janus. Pass rush? Also if we were trained for endurance why didn't that show in last quarters or in the late season?

A defense will use a pass rush for a variety of reasons. A good pass rush limits the amount of time the quarterback (or in our case, the player who has possession of the ball) has to attempt a pass (kick), and can result in a sack (tackle) of the quarterback...Teams may also choose to bring extra pass rushers in what is called a "blitz". It is a high-risk, high reward strategy that can result in more pressure on the quarterback, but leaves less players in pass coverage protecting against a completion. Teams can also choose to rush less than four players, allowing the quarterback more time to pass, but leaving more players to guard the downfield receivers.

So think of heaps of players around the ball, trying to get to the player who has the ball as quickly as possible in order to deny time to execute a kick.

As for the endurance, it did show - compare the results of Adelaide and GWS from early in the season to late in the season.

Kick ins: long to the flank.

I think our actual system of positioning and ball movement was also poor. Rarely was there a player in a better position for the give, so we were always rushed and haphazard, resulting in poor disposal and allowing defences to flood back. Notice how Boak et al often seem to be kicking around their bodies and under pressure. We need a system to get players flowing forward with time to execute (and if only we could kick properly)

22 half back flankers wandering around lost

 

[Zakk Wylde]

JUST KICK IT !

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Go halves in a slab of piss if dix marks

 

[Robbie4PM]

Play all the good blokes who don't perform until we can't make the 8 and then give the kids a go.

 

[all seeing eye]

wingard taps down to wingard, quick give to wingard running past who kicks long to wingard, beautiful grab and snap goal by wingard.

 

[FPPF]

How about we try rediscover that ability to not only run out games but run over the top of the opposition?

 

[kikass]

Win the hit out and continue with the centre clearances from 2016. Go back to a straight down the centre game and learn to lead, kick and pass straight.
