Team Captain
We have head coach Bucks - C
Burns and Harvey are in charge of midfield - B
Hart in charge of backline - C
As you can see there is no dedicated coach for the forwards, we can only assume and because Bucks has experience looking after forwards under Mick, that he has taken it upon himself to be responsible for the forwards alone.
Problem is he has to look after the game itself and I think this is where he can improve as a coach, gameday strategies and plans, he seems to be reactive rather than pro active and having multiple gears and know how to own the footy and work for each other as a single cog.
So because of our poor performances by our forwards, especially on the weekend, I'm looking squarely at Bucks.
1. Because he has not appointed a dedicated senior gameday coach
and
2. Because he has presumably taken it upon himself to be in charge of the forwards and they have been poor.
Anyway, I think we have shown glimpses this year of greatness, they just need their bodies a bit bigger and we might give it a shake.
Also I don't like how Bucks has changed players roles too often, such as Crisp the last couple of weeks having Greenwood back.
Having Langdon in the forward half vs Richmond, what was that about?
I don't like our game plan either, falling off your man and letting them get over the top easily is a horrible style and has us give away too many goals in red time because they are stuffed.
They need to understand the clock of the game and understand how to control periods within a quarter and feel when the opposition is lifting intensity and absorb it, then when they tire lift our own above them.
But if they don't work back hard enough and force them wide, then we will never be a good team.
I give these coaches and this team 2 more seasons, if I don't see pushing and getting close to top 4 then those C's and B's might become F's.
