DEAR ROSS: DO WE NEED TO TWEAK OUR ZONE 4 WIDE WINGS OF MCG?

Post: # 809769Post elphie »

watched replay of MELB. game last night and noticed MELB. damaged us out wide early in game and broke thru without ever hitting our zone. we were protecting corridor only and not spread wider.
is this a concern?
given COLL. is taunted as the team who goes wider than most and have some leg -speed to expose us if not a wake up.

so, will ROSS write on whiteboard WATCH WIDE WINGS ? :roll:

I was thinking similar things while watching the game. Melb seemed to be able to find players free out wide on a regular basis. It's interesting that the Pies game plan involves taking the ball wide.
I trust Ross and the brains trust to have it sorted before Sunday.

For the last few weeks Ross has given Malthouse and Thompson and Eade absolutely nothing.... he is about to give them both barrels. Lock it.

Lock and load, it is open season on magpies.

What is the emoticon for PRIMAL GUTTERAL CHEST-POUNDING ROAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. 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!'

There is no way we'll play like that come finals. Lyon has been testing the players and tinkering, tinkering.

I believe in finals you'll find we protect the wings a lot more, but still, TEMPT the opposition to use the corridor. If they do, they will pay the price dearly. If they go wide, we'll get 'em there too! This is what I hope.

I think the gameplan we employed against Hawthorn - and the ferocity - will be closest to what we'll see this Final's Series.
