Fans (or some of them) should be a resource for AFL clubs.
Tom Hawkins
in the ruck pushing his opponent in the back and then kicking an easy goal - fans saw it long before clubs saw it and had a solution.
Players running around and kicking for goal on an angle after their mark and nobody defending the arc - fans saw it and even today some clubs don't interrupt the defending players with their own players.
Players kicked the ball then waiting for it to come to them rather than meeting it - fans see it.
Players not pretending to the umps they they are trying to clear the ball at the bottom of a pack - fans see it,
Manning the mark for goal - not having a 2nd player a few feet back and a few feet across to put off the kicker's radar - fans see it.
When you take a mark above your head, bring the ball down to your chest to avoid the late spoil - fans see it.
******* defend the goal line on a long shot at goal!!!!!!
These, and many many many little messages seems to never get through to some clubs or some players. But Fans see them.
I remember until Clarkson the Hawks never manned the mark. They would be too cool for school and put up one hand or none someetimes.
What things do you see that you could tell your club about a player or the team the is SO SIMPLE. Are clubs deaf to feedback from fans.
