Nope I can’t accept our tall forwards are ok if they get the ball but don’t finish off. It’s BS. Harry has gone backwards. He’s paid to kick goals and for a bloke who won the Coleman medal 18months ago to look so nervous so unsettled with no solid goal kicking routine when doing the most important role in the game it sums us up as a footy club. Even when one of our players finally develop we have a habit of them not pushing on and tracking upwards but going the other way!
Our coaching has always been suspect but our lack of technique going into the 50 and our general connection or cohesion from our ball movers to the forwards is laughable. It’s actually embarrassing at times.
We botch it up and miss straight forward targets when we have time and then return to the long bomb usually to an outnumber when we are pressured.
When your list consists of last years Brownlow medallist the last 2 years Coleman medalists, 6 AAs, one of the best full backs in the comp you should be in the top half of the comp yet it all falls down with no solid game plan and no forward 50 nous. 8 years into a rebuild you would think by now that box would have been ticked.
No faith we will do any better than last year.
Harry simply can't kick a straight drop punt to save himself, he compensates for that by doing that around the corner kick. Thats fine when we is on the right side of the ground. When he is on the left pocket side, he is virtually useless. So we where does he lead? The left pocket. His in game foot smarts in non existent more often than not. He is a strong contested mark, he snaps around the corner very well (on the right side), we he plays on from outside 50, he is embarrassing to watch.
Charlie and Harry are not working well together, by that I mean in sync.
