my Comment was simply in reference to you saying long bombs don’t work in this competition. They obviously have a place. I mean it looks just beautiful when a forward bursts into space and hits a leading forward on the chest. But the problem is that there are all these other pesky players that keep trying to tackle the midfielders. That damn pressure eh?Yes I do. They have 1 tall and 5 smalls buzzing around. So the chaos kick forward works for them. We play very tall with little defensive pressure. So if the ball comes to ground, we rarely get a stoppage as you mention Richmond do so well. Long bombs do not play to our advantage. Strong leading forwards having the ball kicked to advantage does. We can continue to pretend we are something we're not or be brave and make what we have work ( as Richmond did last year )
I think the point you do make that is of value is the ability to lock the ball in and get forward stoppages. We are an excellent stoppage team. If we turn these long kicks into forward stoppages I think we would look a better team
