Stanley's Paddock

Post: # 941484Post felixleo »

If Stanleys ever one out why don't we try kicking over his head so he can use his pace to run back on it?


Are you gonna be the one?

Nonsense (respectfully). On the quick break after a turnover (relatively often with St K) or when we have a loose man centre on the move (less often, but it does happen) often there's no one home defensively and we pause and look for a side target to give the forwards to run to space.

Stanley is lightning. He could technically remove the need to pause. The paddock idea has definite merit for mine.

He goes missing a bit, but that'll happen to a kid. Gee there's some silk there though. Would have loved to have seen him snag that one on the angle. Tough kick at an important moment in the game. Could have been his making. Not that it matters. Am sure there'll be another moment. Exciting to have one like him.

Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

I noticed Geelong do it a few times against the Dons. When kicking to a one on one contest they kicked it over their heads with the Cat's player ready to recover quicker and pounce on the ball resulting in him breaking away into the open. It certainly gets the ball down to their forwards much quicker.

This is an intruging development.

Apparently kicking over the zone and into the vacant forward 50 is the new thing. I think Essendon kicked a few against us doing it and Geelong are masters at it. From memory, Gary Lyon spoke about on FC a while ago. There's merit in the Stanley idea any way...
