Centre Bounces
I'd prefer that we had 4 in the middle for centre bounces. On at least two occasions, in the last quarter we lined up with only 3.
Get it sorted.

Re: Centre Bounces
Thought our clearance work in the middle was much better this week - at least for the first 3 quarters. Also the ball wasn't coming out of our forward 50 as easily as previous weeks, which suggests our forwards were working hard to keep it in there. Actually our tackling and intensity all around the ground was very good for 3.25 quarters, which also resulted in some easy pickings for Fisher and company.

Re: Centre Bounces
Was stunned to see just 3 line up in the middle for centre bounces ... junior footy stuff

Re: Centre Bounces
Didn't catch that but was awesome and exciting to see for e.g: Hickey, Ross, Steven, Armitage and win clearances on a couple of occasions...
Re: Centre Bounces
Was it not because the extra player dropped back into defence?
That was my thinking behind it.

It was disorganised and quite disastrous. The second time was bad.
Especially in the last quarter when the Blues were on a roll and got another easy clearance out....

Give Scott a call and ask him to sort it before we play the Crows....Spinner wrote:BackFromUSA wrote:Was stunned to see just 3 line up in the middle for centre bounces ... junior footy stuff

Any chance an ex Saint will kick a bag on Sunday Night

Re: Centre Bounces
And here I was thinking you were talking about the actual bounce of the ball ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I'm sure there were 2 or 3 occasions that the ball actually bounced right out of the circle, I thought these were supposed to be recalled and thrown up. Is this just another rule which the maggots can pick and choose when they will apply?

It's a shame ignorance isn't painful

Hopefully they read this and I won't have to.

Re: Centre Bounces
Not the first game this season where there has been a big gap in the midfield at bounces where the opposition mids can get a clear run at the ball for a clearance- I thought they would have sorted this out by now, it's basic stuff.
