I've stayed away from posting the last day or so because that was one of the worst performances I have ever seen. Even when we were getting done by 100+ points I wasn't as dissapointed in the club as a whole than what we dished up.
Anyways moving on from that I just wanted to get some peoples thoughts on what you think our actual game plan is. I watch about 5 or 6 games a week and every team you can actually see what they are doing and the gameplan that they are trying to execute. I still can't work out what our game plan is because as it stands this season it's just get the ball and kick it as deep as you can inside the forward 50. This has been evident over the JLT series and also the first 2 rounds.
I'm not sure what they have been working on over the off season because kicking it long is NOT a game plan and applying pressure SHOULD be a non negotiable and again isn't a game plan. Throught these 2 games I can count on one hand how many times we have hit up a leading target inside the forward 50. All we do is bomb the living day lights out of it without even looking. At one point it was jack steven resting forward and we kept on going long to him even though he was up against tarrant/thompson. I'm starting to think that we have some really dumb footballers in our side when it comes to footy IQ (Webster,Longer,Stevens,Bruce etc). We need to have some major changes to the way we actually play because right now we have a hard time break other teams down when we have the ball and continually get choked by the opposition from kick in a etc. There is nothing that is in place to try and break down a teams some rather just kick it long down the line etc.
