What is our game plan?

[Demon 16]

I think the overiding philosophy is to always outnumber at the contest.

We use a zone to do this so we always have more numbers around the footy. If we played 1 on 1 we wouldn't be able to have players peel off and impact the contest. The idea is to form a wall of pressure so we can force turnovers in the forward half and 50 and we try and use quick hands to generate clean scoring oppurtunities.

But to get more numbers to the contest we pull players from either the forward line or wings and get them to charge in from defence. If we take the wings out and our oppo dont follow we have an outnunber in the corridor and even numbers in the forward 50. This has worked in the past. A lot of the time we take players from the forward line, win the clearance and bomb it to outnumbered contests because the oppo realise and leave their spares in defence.

So we win the ball with extra numbers and kick to outnumbered situations hoping our forwards can mark or spoil and wait for the midfield to arrive.

The numbers to ball game kills our ability to spread and switch. Creates an outnumber in our forward line at clearances and floods in our own forward line. Not to mention how it sucks in players out of their proper position in a zone.

Why we let so many goals get kicked in the square beat me though. I understand the out the back goals when we press up so high.

Excellent synopsis.

I think it’s colligwood 2010 with wings running off the back of the square, less skill and less heart

Game plan B appears to be tread water till t-mac and the brick with legs reappear .

How much better did we look structurally? Big difference.

Our actual game plan is forward press on attack, use the corridor as much as possible and then have a rotational defence across the ground. The problem with that is, when we press forward and get exposed with poor kicking, their runners just smash it up the ground and get a forward 50 entry with some little pocket rocket running on to the ball with a perfect bounce for them and then walk it in, at least that is how it feels every single time.

Use the corridor? We never use the corridor. We push to the flanks and wings constantly and then bring it into the 50.

You bring a slow mid in,
You take a small forward out,
You throw a young kid in,
and you shake it all about...

You ruck with James Harmes and you turn around,
That’s what goodwins all about!

I think I've figured it out. You see, opposition teams have a preset inside 50 limit. Knowing this, Goodwin sends wave after wave of low quality inside 50s at them until they reach that limit and shut down.

Chaplin, show them the medal Goodwin won.
