Selfish Players

[pcara]

I got the feeling in the 2nd half of Saturdays game that some of our experienced players are looking at saving their careers rather than play team footy. I distincly rememeber on a back flank,one of our players had the ball( I think Browny or Bowden) but rather that give it to Cotch who was in a clear position and in clear view kicked it to a congested contest.
I get the feeling that some of the experieced players may not give him the ball in the future cause he is showing them up.

I got the complete opposite feeling, especially with Chris Newman. I think about 4 times he had the ball just outside the arc right at true CHF with an empty goal square and went for a short pass rather than unload at the big sticks. I think maybe one of those passes was effective. He has to put his hand up and nail those goals, they really bring the team together when you smash a long one home.

And Browny on the members wing gave it to Cotchin, who immediately looked to give it straight back (he is a first year player, that is what they do) but he told him to run with it. This was mentioned on the Sunday Footy Show I think and it was good from Browny.

Our players need to back themselves, take on the player and use thier dash. This was a major characteristic especially in the win over Fremantle. Run and carry, break tackles, long kicks

It's not that complicated is it. Many seem to think circle work makes more sense.

Browny has lifted in all aspects I feel. He can obviously see that he and the other seniors are finished if they don't get their act into gear.
