Very happy to hear that Will Kelly played.
Also Howe and De Goey. McInnes is the only one I can't get any info on. I dont believe he played.

McInnis had a Finger Injury like De Goey last year and Keane earlier this year

| Good to see McCreery hit the scoreboard. Defensive pressure is fine but you need to maximise those few chances on goal too. |

Sando was saying they are talking to Cats with upcoming praky match (next Friday) & they suggested instead of 4 quarters have 6 quarters so they can give all list some game time against good opponents

Well Sanderson has just stuffed the whole season up š©....
āOur list looks pretty healthy....apart from a couple of niggles a few boys haveā.
Seriously, is he not aware of the disastrous injury run that we have had the last 7-8 years??
Talk about putting the moz on the team.

But how long is he out for? Keane is currently up to 7 weeks.

Iād much rather they get match practice than be Chicken Littles always looking for the sky to fall. Risk management for the team to learn game plans and various strategies is far better than keeping players in cotton wool until round one when they get thrashed due to a lack of match practice.

And apparently the pre season focus has been on moving the ball more quickly.
That might be an obvious focus but itās not as easy as it sounds. It all starts with mitigating the oppositions pressure before you can magically move the ball at a greater speed down the ground.
Improving the overall skill level across the board would be a good start too.
Re the ( lack of ) injuries - itās all part of the game. Enjoy a full list while you can, even if it is only the preseason. It will only go down hill from here. |

The magic overnight change has been happening across all clubs I think Pies2016. The new "stand" rule for the player on the mark has made ball movement much quicker because it's opened up the corridor. The zero lateral movement for the player on the mark contributes to that. Also players can't take over the mark from someone running off to man up in the guts. The player standing on the mark can't move til "play on" s called. Defences are struggling to keep up with speed of delivery into the forward 50 as a result. They say it's really working on fast ball movement AND more scoring opportunities. All clubs have been trialling it with unanimous positive responses. Our game might magically become a more attacking game again. But, to clarify, not just our game.

Very true and all clubs will be working on taking advantage of the more rigid standing the mark rule.
Iām hoping the news reports suggesting that Buckley is working on quicker ball movement is more a specific ā in club ā game style.
The reason we moved the ball so slowly last year is because we continually ā invited ā pressure from the opposition ( and thatās not including skill errors )
Itās difficult to move a ball quickly if your opposition is better at slowing you down. We gave our opposition to many chances at slowing us down because we allowed them to.
We need to get better at not having to many players being sucked into the immediate contest. It simply allows the opposition to smother us.
We need to be less predictable in the way we go forward. Again, it simply allows the opposition to be waiting for you before the ball comes in.
Most importantly, we need smarter forwards who donāt get sucked up the ground and all compete in the same contest. Once again, you are simply taking your opponent to a non dangerous position on the ground and allowing him to add more pressure on the team with the ball.
Your best chance of moving the ball quickly is to divide and conquer your opposition, rather than allow them to gather in numbers at the ( next ) contest
For us to improve on last year, we need to do more things right than our opposition.
If we can improve in any of the above areas, it will at least help to keep our heads above water. If we donāt, we will likely be grasping at the proverbial straw fairly early into the 2021 season. Time will tell. |
