For everyone who thinks pace doesnt matter and it's all about accurate kicking...
You are are 5 years behind.
Accurate kicking should be a given.
Now you to be fast AND kick accurately.
Otherwise forget top 6.

Re: Pace
We've lacked genuine pace for the last 15 years. Even under GT and RL we didn't have mids with explosive pace. It's nothing new but welcome to the conversation. Better late than never.
Opinions are like arseholes, everybody's got one.

Re: Pace
Lonie is in the team mainly for his pace
Footy is an entertainment industry. It's really funny when Lonie runs fast at an opposition player when he tries to tackle them and just bounces off them like a pinball

Indeed...quick and accurate ball movement will beat leg speed everyday of the week.portosaint wrote: ↑Sat 28 Jul 2018 9:09pm Nothing faster than precision ball movement. You only need one or two lines breakers... If you move the ball with precision and play on you look very fast.

Re: Pace
It's not so much our pace with ball in hand, it's when we don't have the ball our players jog around the park. The Melbourne game was different, we were running better to receive the ball in this game.
Couple of other games we have done this for periods, but have the wind taken from us by umpires and we go in to our shells. I've seen this many times this year, but nobody says stuff it, let's keep at it, we slump.
No real leaders atm. Give Jake a crack at captain and watch him blossom with the responsibility

Good post overall. Not so sure on Jack for captain though.barneyboyz wrote: ↑Tue 31 Jul 2018 10:51pm It's not so much our pace with ball in hand, it's when we don't have the ball our players jog around the park.
