Are our midfielders dumb or ignorant?

Its not only being prepared to run forward, but being prepared to run back and knowing when to do so. So many times we have players flying into a position where they are not needed instead of running into space to create another option.
Also when kicking into the forward line its hard to not kick it to Richo, think, who would you rather kick to, although, North are always onto this when we play them. Thats probably why its best we used Richo further up the ground against a team like this and left the i50 marks to go to Brown or Shulz.

C24 isnt a darksider he's a realist, our midfeilders make the wrong decisions when delivering the ball into forward 50 90% of the time!!Six Pack said:

Correct. A team of selfish footballers who don't work anywhere near hard enough. A hard working team like North exposes this big time.
Dumb? Ignorant? Neither is my guess.
I'd say confused.
Confused by coaches who over-analyse game tactics and expect players to stick to game plans when the situation doesn't allow it.
Confused by coaches who play them in 15 positions during the one game and expect them to be accountable for everything the opposition does, while not being able to be accountable for their own roles.
Confused by coaches who drag them off 2 minutes into the game - before they've even had the chance to get their hands on the ball or work out what their direct opponent is up to.
Confused by coaches who tell them they'll get a game if they do the right things, yet get left languishing in the magoos while overhyped, overpaid past-its get their backsides towelled week after week.
Confused by coaches who keep saying the team is on track yet shows little sign of improvement from year to year.
Confused by the Burmuda triangle that exists around Punt Road that sucks in, chews up and spits out any young kids that show any potential.
And finally, confused by umpires that change their minds from one decision to the next as to what actually constitutes a free kick and which type it is. It's a lottery every time the whistle blows.

Frawley fails to mention that if he had rounded up a decent midfield then Richo wouldn't have to go to all ends of the globe chasing a kick
The days richo really leaves home is when our mids are getting carved up and on the few occasions we enter 50 it's a bouncing ball running towards the boundary on the flank with Richo in hot pursuit.
