Strategy 3 tall forwards vs 2 tall forwards

[shinboner magic]

Round 1 loss: 2 talls

Round 2 does teakle/Finnbar come in for a small?

Round 2 win : still 2 talls

Round 2 win : still 2 talls

I think you mean 4 talls

According to your zurhaar analysis

 

[The Nostradamus]

One of teakle or finnbar have to come in for rhj next week

Never want to see darling or zurhaar ruck

I hope Sportsbet opens a market to let me bet that this will not happen.

It's a bad idea. It won't happen.

Lol yep would’ve been nice to have a proper second ruck

Allowing darling to stay forward to give us another target and lightening the load on xerri

But lol yep needed RHJ in the side today for those 2 out on the fulls

Another impressive outing for North Melbourne's Reserves side has young tall Matt Whitlock edging closer to an early season debut.

In Saturday's physical VFL clash against Box Hill, the draftee played with poise as he gathered 27 disposals, nine intercepts and seven marks.

The performance backs up Whitlock's strong recent form and suggests he will be in consideration when the Kangaroos match committee selects the team for Saturday night's Round 4 AFL match against Sydney.

Tonight was all the proof we needed that playing the extra tall is dumb for our list (doesn't matter if they're up forward or down back).

It leaves us massively exposed in terms of pace, and we don't have the defensively-minded midfielders/wings/HBFs to accomodate it in transition.

Put this theory to bed once and for all.

 

[The Nostradamus]

it does matter. It’s not about an extra tall defender

It’s about an extra tall forward to straighten us up

I was hoping one of the key defenders would be played forward last night but nope hopefully we finally do it next week

 

[The Nostradamus]

so can we finally make this happen?

Or the plan still to wait to mid year again

Should be a good chance with Pittonet coming in for them. Kinda offsets playing Teakle or Maley imo.

We get torched on the groundball playing two tall forwards. Playing three is going to make things worse, not better.

It's currently working with Adelaide because:

• They are very good at the groundball
• Their three tall forwards are all in very good form
• Their full ground defense is solid
• Their entire list is extremely fit with Burgess running the S&C program

We cannot tick any of these boxes. Not one. So expecting to roll out three talls and for it to have similar results is f*kn dumb.

And yet we looked better last year when we played the extra tall in the second half of the year compared to the first

For the love of god bring in teakle for a small against his old side this week

 

[The Nostradamus]

Another week of hoping we finally bring in a second ruck for a small

Just give it a go already!

With Goldie and 2 meter Peter this week they might just have to...We need to stretch there defence so having 3 talls will do that...

We don't have good enough talls outside of larkey and darling to punish a small defence. All it does is enables essendon to run it out of defence with no pressure once it hits the ground.

 

[zoomba23]

Split the difference and play six mediums. Actually, that unironically looks like our list strategy

Pppffft.

Get back on your no pink and scott selection are the path to El Dorado call.

it’s wild that we haven’t tried this set up yet this year

It’s not like what we’ve been doing has been succesful

You take this year and first half of last year vs second half of last year with the extra tall and it’s clear which structure we should be using

Even a numbnuts like Brad Scott recognised that unless you have a fleet of electric runners (spoiler - we don't) you play 3 talls at either end and you'll go a certain way just having some stability alone.

e.g. park Teakle in the goal square and tell him to mark or neutralise anything that comes in.

Now Larkey doesn't get double teamed and Darling can use his endurance to mark around the ground more.

Plus 2nd rucks actually have to contend with a 204cm opponent rather than pat a 192cm Jack Darling on the head.
