Tell them to train leading at the ball not away from it
There was no traditional leading at the ball carrier drills at all. It was all ball movement by hand into a relatively vacant forward line stuff. Even those drills the forward was mostly being drawn into the pockets by the kick…

Did Simon goodwin find some weird stat somewhere that told him marks on the lead were not a reliable way to kick goals or something. I seriously can't understand his absolute refusal to play a normal forward structure.

The changing of the key talls on a week-to-week basis is pretty hilarious. Can nearly guarantee Johnson has about five touches and is back out within a week or two after JVR has a halfway decent VFL game.

They just need to pick two and stick with it for a month. No way to build confidence and continuity otherwise.

More than fair point.

I think the issue maybe is, they like Petty forward now but because of the 'type' he is they need a quality leading tall forward who can finish well IMO and we just don't have one. Fullarton is that type but hasn't made an impact, AJ, JVR and Turner are fairly similar to Petty as forwards, and Jefferson just seems to be a bust now. Plus, all of them bar Fullarton are in that 195cm or under category which makes it even harder with Fritsch and Melksham in I reckon.

I know Fullarton did SFA, but I would have liked to have seen him and Petty given longer together and find out if Fullarton can actually impact games. He's never gonna be great, but he's the right size and type for what could work well.

Name the sub? We need a poll.
Looking at that bench, it's out of Lindsay and Johnson. Johnson would make no sense as a sub, but I hope they're not demoting Lindsay.

I think you're allowed to change the team up until final team sheets though yeah? I still reckon it will be Sharp.
You can, but it's fairly rare for the sub to be somebody who isn't listed on the bench when the 23 is announced on the Thursday/Friday.

I actually reckon we've done it early this year, can't remember which game though or if my memory is sketchy, but I reckon sometime in the first 4-5 games of the year we pulled someone from the 18 to be sub.

You could be right (or thinking of Billings in Round 0 last year?) – there's no rule about it, just very common practice (watch it closely due to SuperCoach purposes lol)
