Pace Through the Midfield

[Tony Delaney]

In our early games our strength seemed to be speed, carrying the football through the midfield/corridor region. Against Collingwood we lacked that. Davey played well but more at half forward. Lovett didn't get many touches in this area and it seemed Collingwood pushed us very wide.

So probably good coaching by Malthouse and we missed Winders in this area and Welsh to a lesser extent who was good early. Pev had to run wide a lot of the time and as said above Lovett was quiet.

Hopefully Winders returns this week and adds that bit of dash that made us dangerous in the matches we won.

We had pace through the middle yesterday it was simply our ineffectiveness that countered it out. Where Shaw would start quick inside 50 movements from defensive 50, Fletcher would start out and once we got to half forward we got confused. The fact Lucas was mauled by O'Brien and Clement dominated lloyd after 1/4 time would of had a big influence.

We''ll need a bit more than just more dash to score the cash. Some stupid management decision making needs to be looked at too.

We change dour gameplan on wednesday..we were a quick yteam with never ending run but we tried to be a taller team who could out mark..we were too tall..simple..we didnt have enough run come midway thru the third..Why you would add taller players with less run to a successful running team coming off a for day break is beyond me....
