You might well be right, but it looks like a chicken and egg thing, and is self-perpetuating whichever way you look at it.rodgerfox wrote: ↑Fri 25 May 2018 2:51pmThe other reason I think they often stand in the goal square, is that they know that that's where the ball is going. Just like every defender on the ground! It's clearly a strategy of Richardson's to have a tall in the hot spot to make a contest. If they lead, like McCartin regularly does, they just get ignored and have to watch the ball sail over their head to the waiting arms of defenders standing in the hot spot.Superboot wrote: ↑Fri 25 May 2018 12:59pm If I looked up and saw our forwards standing in the goal square and there was no-one else to give it to I'd probably bomb it long too. Lack of movement among the forwards is also a basic problem. And then of course there's spilling the ball when you are on a lead or missing the kick for goal when you didn't spill the mark.
The only way to break the cycle is to get more movement. No point in kicking it where someone is supposed to have led but didn’t.

Re: Great insights by David King
haha
you edited this just in time!
I remember King in that 97 final, in the mud, when Rod Keogh had ball in hand
and ran hard at him, daring King to tackle- King took a Billings-esque short step
to avoid contact.
3rd qtr IIRC

I respectfully completely disagree.
I think blaming the offensive predicament on the forwards is simply incorrect.

“Great insights by David King”. A combination of words I never would’ve expected to see on Saintsational. Shows how low we’ve sunk.

Re: Great insights by David King
How sad a buffoon like king sees this but our lot of incompetents either can't or can't fix it
Even IF it's the players fault for not following instructions the question still gets asked:
1. Why are you constantly selecting repeat offenders ALan?
2. Why does this club continue to tell us "this group just hasn't played to its capabilities" if players can't follow instructions and/or execute due to poor skills them I'd suggest we are guilty of grossly overestimating the playing group and for that alone coaches/recruitment ought to be gone afte 5 years to get it right
