Unlike you guys, I don't believe our coach has ever carried a magic potion that turned us into champions.I also have witnessed a trend. The boundary is used by the team fighting a team who has the ascendency in games, whilst the team running hot tends to own the corridor. We have done both thus far.You need to be able to play in both or you are gone once momentum changes.A boundary line game against a side that has as many marking talls as the Bombers will be the worst decision in the history of football.

Re: 2015-Rnd 3 Carlton vs Essendon Reply #80 – April 12, 2015, 09:26:34 pm Try running in numbers to draw a player out of position instead of just chipping it left and right continuously. Teams zone with defence and don't go one on one all over the ground. Players need to lead to open the forward 50m, and players need to be prepared to run in numbers to support each other and draw defending players towards them. Thus the corridor eventually opens up. Watch Freo, Sydney, Adelaide and how Essendon do it. However you need to be prepared to run hard both ways in case of a turnover. Not jog back, but sprint back in numbers too, to defend.

Hopefully there's no truth to it because I'm sick to death of our club hiring the wrong people. Pagan? Hughes? Rogers? Green as a midfield coach? Webster? Buttifant? Malthouse??? Quote Selected

Then again, maybe it's just Mick who is the issue. Quote Selected
