I think you'll find our coaches are completely fixated on being able to hold the footy in the forward 50 and are using Sinclair in an attempt to do this. Largely due to our small forwards being utterly useless. The footy comes out of 50 faster than a dump after vindaloo night.
Agree thats why I was surprised Weller didnt come into the side. Why with a competitive inside 50 number we havent been able to kick a score?
Its obvious our forward line hasnt functioned well. The talls havent looked like taking a mark and there is none of our smalls at their feet. Some of the reason is that our ball movement forward is that laboured every possession is under pressure causing the forwards to have to suck up the ground leaving us with no forward structure. Then on the turnover we havent been able to press up sufficiently to hold the ball in.
Its obvious that Richo appointing Kingsley as the transition coach saw this as an kink in the game plan, but I dont think they and the players have covered the hole Roo has left in that process.
So hopefull Buddha after last weeks failed exercise of moving Acres and Sinclair deep forward. When we had 4 inside 50's in the 3rd the coaches learn that they were robbing the only 2 functioning mids to fill a hole forward.
