Tackle, chase and push them wide

Post: # 914995Post Milan Faletic »

We need to lift our tackle count to about 20 per quarter.

Hit the ball carrier hard.

Chase, chase. Perceived pressure can cause the error.

Block the corridor and push them out to the flanks.

Stop Hall from leading. Fill the space.

Then the supply to their forward line won't be clean and we can go 3rd man over the top or intercept their attacks.

Kick to the space not to the man and let Kosi run into space. Take him away the wrestling contest and allow him to run and jump.

Crumbers help Kosi so he can bring the ball down. He doesn't have to mark everything. Time to kick goals Mini.

Take risks.

In possession hit the trigger early.



I believe this will be a milestone game for our year, big win in a classic game, need to remind the Doggies we have their measure, potentially our biggest challenger in 2010.


Fearless, Saints footy. That's what I like.

Well, we did it. Mini didn't kick the goals but did an excellent job in the last quarter and Kosi in the ruck worked well. We did stifle the delivery to Hall and frustrated him.

We used the corridor well in the last quarter and hit the trigger.

We denied the Dogs the corridor, if they can't run down the middle they are very suspect, especially with the oldest forward line in the competition.
Collingwood are the same because of their lack of key forwards.
You force them wide, where they can't run, they become very inefficient.


Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.
