Re: Practice Match: Blues v Pies, Fri 24 Feb
Reply #72 –
I think others noticed how many of our forward entries were high... on a number of occasions it appeared that blokes paused and intentionally launched it high, perhaps a conscious effort to maximise height and limit the need for small forward input seeing how we were missing a couple of our prime small forwards. Just a thought.
As one of the commentators said, defenders love it when its kicked in high like that. Gives the talls time to get across in numbers and either kill it or intercept. Just a useless tactic for mine:
- spoils the often hard work up the ground to get into the position to go going inside 50.
- risk of injury to your Rolls Royces by getting crunched in packs.
More low and precise entry is the go, our Rollers have more than enough skill and speed to make position to receive it, we have the mids now who can do precision.
