I really would have expected better from Voss, Schofield and Bassett. They're not idiots - why can't they develop some efficient midfield/forward method? It's been driving me batshit for years!Ive been saying this since the tingles game.
We are still so poorly coached on going inside 50, we have so far thia year just not noticed it as much because weve outclassed sides at ground level.
He's not going to be leading the Coleman when he is limping around getting zero goals every week, you know, like every other season.Yeah we should probably drop the guy who's leading the Coleman, that'll help. Another great post from you m8.

Or do you want us to give the coach another contract too.
Daily reminder we need to stop playing/relying on Limp Dix.

My concern with Dix (and no he should definitely not be dropped) has nothing to do with how he plays. He was one of a small handful of blokes that could hold his head up high last night and has had a great season.
My concern with Dix is the way we set up strategically around him. Too often we are overly reliant on him and think he is the only pathway to goal, especially when under pressure. Good sides find multiple ways to goal. Look at Brisbane last night - when Hipwood was getting off the leash they repeatedly took advantage of that. When Hipwood was covered they found McStay, they found other avenues (10 different goal scorers).
It's incredibly difficult to defend against multiple players leading in to multiple areas and no clue where the ball will be delivered, and usually someone will end up one out or free.
Meanwhile for Port I constantly watch Marshall just sit right behind Dix in contests, and nobody else doing anything other than gathering for a pack at the top of the square. It feels like we aren't actually putting faith in our forwards to go out and beat players one on one, we have decided the best we can hope for is getting it to a neutral position ballwise in a great position groundwise (bringing the ball to ground at the top of the square), and playing it from there.
