I have a bit of a worry from our stats mentioned at the Fourm. We are great at contested ball, stoppages etc but crap at centre clearances. We have had far too many times where we crowd the contest with numbers and then when get possession have no one clear to start a chain of play. If we lose the contested ball the other teams have players off the pack ready to cause damage. I know Bucks mentioned this. He wants us to keep our shape around stoppages and packs and not have too many players get sucked in to the area. Problem is is we drop those couple players into space will we really be so good at contested ball? I have my doubts as when the numbers are even at centre clearances we are poor. Anyone else thought of this.
Now maybe with the introduction of Treloar and more Greenwood this will improve. But Treloar is more a predator type as opposed to a Luke Ball type. We are going to need Greenwood, Adams and De Goey to get plenty of clearances in 2016. |
Good points, but don't underestimate what Greenwood will add if he can play a full season. I don't think we saw him at his best in 2015 when he returned from injury.
Most of our mids can play a bit of inside and outside, but I suspect that you are right that Greenwood and Adams will spend close to all their time in the guts feeding it out to runners. I only see DeGoey pinch hitting in that role in 2016 (maybe swapping with Swanny out of a forward pocket?). If Bucks pushes Marley Williams into the guts then he would likely play that bullocking inside role as well. _________________ All We Can Be |

Awesome review that covers all the key points that are necessary to understand the path that our club is taking heading into next year.
Well done! _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

I have pretty much finished what I intended.
I may tidy some bits up as we go and I will look to add in some bits for pre-season training, National Draft and Rookie Draft when the times come. _________________ All We Can Be |

I agree, our ruckmen cannot mark. For mine, this is a natural ability skill requiring the right timing and soft hands. If it was easy to get one's ruckmen to become great marks, and become Peter Moore like targets in the forward line, then every team would have them.
I would like to move away from this defensive forward mentality. Let Macaffer try be an offensive forward. It should go without saying that a forward would try to get the ball back if they didn't get it first.
Yes, Blair has been consistent (in not kicking goals). Would hope to have a much more dangerous option in that position this year.
Overall, I agree. Unless we get horribly whacked by injury, we should be right in it this season. |

Great review.
I think this season proved we can beat the 5-8 teams on a good dae and match it with the best but not pull away from them.
We've had some great pick-ups, no serious loss of personal and some young guns like Moore and Sharonberg.
Hopefully next year the team we will play a more bang the ball forward at all costs (a la Lethal with 1990 team) that will spread the opposition defence and allow more scoring op's.
Roll on 2016. |

Updated for 2016 coaching panel and a few comments/updates and links to training reports.
I will probably venture into making some predictions in the new year. _________________ All We Can Be |

Quote: | Moore showed enormous potential in his nine games in 2015, but we must remember he is still essentially a kid. He certainly played well enough to expect a spot as a tall forward even though he has a lot to improve. I don't want to see him overworked too early and if he pinch hits in the ruck then I have concerns about the effect of the crash and bash aspect on his body. I would expect Moore to play almost all games in 2016. |
Where do you see Moore needs the Most Improvement in? _________________ I am Da Man |
