And the game plan is?

Post: # 1715707Post MrCordz »

I thought we were terrible last week bar 20 minutes of poor defence by the lions. This week was so much worse.
Mentally we are weak. Physically we are weak. These guys have played together for years now and they do not click.
I can't see any consistent game plan outside of hopeful improvement by guys who hang around the club longer. Every club hopes that they get this improvement.
Complacent, weak, nice guy football. No wonder we get such low crowds.

Do we actually have any coaches that any other team in the AFL would say we want that guy ?

St kilda as a club love pouring non existant money down the drain .
If Richo can't turn things around real quick that'll be another coach sacked with a payout.
If we get within 50 points of the crows next week then Richo has probably coached alright.

Game plan going forward is very clear.
Kick it high to top of the square and hope.
Opposition all know it and get number there.
Ball then hits ground and goes to other end with little pressure from our slow forwards.
It’s not a lack of a game plan. It’s just a shite one.

You forgot an important part.

Move it slow so they get numbers back first. The more the merrier!

The game plan is hand ball, short pass, kick backwards, don't kick direct but get your possessions up so it makes you look good. Lets not forget deplorable delivery.

Found the mission statement on our website... here’s the game plan

Tap the ball and pass to mid, hand ball that to another mid, the handball back and fourth before a quick pass 20m to the side, that guy handballs behind him before a short pass back where it comes from. Pass the ball to the left, handball one to the other to the other, oh oh we're under pressure, hand ball out the back to another guy under pressure, and to another and to another, quick pass the ball, some how we're at half forward, short pass to a contest, hand ball to a man running into 50m, kick short to a contest, TURNOVER

All good. Jack Lonie and Mav Weller Will fix everything

We look like we are playing a game style like Richmond in 2016. Possessions that lead nowhere. They kicked 5 goals against us late that year it was just terrible to watch. They had to change to move forward and look what happend. Roberton said after the game we had to move the ball from one side to the other to get around the very good North defence but didnt do it well. We take no risk, we dont move the ball forward fast, its too safe. Change it up Richo its crap.

I think it's kick the ball and everyone chase after it, like the Little League.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

Our game is under no circumstances kick the ball. All ways choose to handball to someone 1 mtr away and make sure they have 3-4 opposition players on them first.

Yes, but you have to admit, it is working as planned.
