Strategy The Chad Cornes school for kids who don't kick good

Listen to this - Tyson Goldsack on our goal kicking woes:

“We reviewed it as coaches. We haven't gone through it with the players yet. But we believe in the process. It's just kind of how we're going about it from week to week. We think the process is right. Are we taking it into the games and actually executing it in the games like we are at training, because at training, it works, but there's no pressure so it's just trying to make sure it does transfer from training to games. And we think if we believe in the process, continue with the process that it should turn itself around. But we'll make some slight changes just to make sure that what we're doing is the best thing for the players.

“(We’ll involve) elements of fatigue or if it's pressure - so trying to stimulate them so that they feel like they're under pressure, that there's something on the line of training that might make that transition easier.
These are all little things that we're thinking about even, are we replicating the same shots that are getting in the game here at training. Little things like that where the data says we're falling down in a certain area we'll try and implement that.

“Chad's been running the program – the goal kicking program - and he's put a mountain of work into it, and so have the players. It's almost unjust that it hasn't transferred into the games, considering how much focus they've put on it, and how much commitment they've shown in that space. We're hoping almost for their benefit, they start to see some reward for their effort.”

All those words yet absolutely nothing of value said.

I get annoyed when idiot supporters say, "but it was only poor kicking that let us down". This is total BS. Obviously, behinds can indicate poor kicking, particularly from set shots, but it can also indicate other problems, like poor entries into the forward 50, forwards lacking cohesion and constantly under pressure. Port's forwards seldom lead, and competing with each other to take marks... unstructured and EXTREMELY poorly coached.

The pic below says it all...

They have literally no idea why we can't execute when the pressure is on. They have no idea why we lose games like the Showdown. They are as far away from correcting our issues as they've ever been at this stage and they're digging deeper and deeper into their hole every time they promote someone else from within.

We are completely immersed in loser culture. It permeates every part of the club

When Goldsack was "coaching" the Maggies last year, he was also playing for Moonta in the YP league where he was less than impressive, playing either centre or full forward. He was a complete dud in the Grand Final.

So, as with everyone else, I'm stuffed if I know what expertise he brings to the AFL side.

“It annoys me how hard the supporters are on Jed…”

— C. Cornes​

“Sometimes I get frustrated because the supporters don’t understand how hard [the AFL] is…”

— D. Cassisi​

How thinly-veiled is the contempt for the only group bothering to put any scrutiny on the mediocrity-soaked chucklef#%ks down there?

How about maybe stop whining and whinging about how mean and unfair and supposedly uncomprehending the supporters are, and start performing in the roles you are hitherto overwhelmingly incompetent at?

Yes Tredders said lack of connection between mids and forwards.
Mids not understanding how the forwards present individually. Also we aren’t getting the ball to a player within 30 meters of goals to enable better outcomes.

I don't buy this stuff about game plan, where the shots are taken, etc. The expected score is meant to adjust for that and we almost always come out of that looking bad. And the eye test just tells me our goal kicking sucks, full stop.

The club loves to wank on these days about a “powerful connection”, but once upon a time that’s actually what we had between club and supporters.

The board or coaching staff wouldn’t have dreamt of punching down on the membership, instead they would have rolled up their sleeves and got to work on the shortcomings.

But slowly and surely, various avenues to scrutiny have been removed and because they aren’t scrutinised as hard now, the club seem to think any kind of criticism is a vicious personal attack.

And their fallback position is to blame and gaslight the supporter base as a smokescreen to cover their deficiencies.

Absolutely gross stuff.

That's a good point.

When was the last time we were over the expected score and not under.

Where we over it against the Saints?

What's the dealio?

Didn’t Dixon basically tell the fans last year you’re all stupid?

Goldsacks comments on AA were a bit better at least


He acknowledged that there is some game style component to it as well.

Should have been a free kick to MG
 
In short,
We put the guy who should be running drinks in charge of our biggest failing and then invested a heap of energy and time into it.
I'm not sure why it's not working, life is unfair.
