In summary we are two slow going forward and two fast going back. Specifically our game plan which are defficient.
We spot up rather than play on way to often. This causes the players to have overposess and eventually turn the ball over because there is noone in space. This style of game saps the players confidence and energy.
We don't build a wall at half forward like a lot of other teams we just get on our bikes and run back to the backline leaving one or two small forwards to run around and harras the ball carrier. This lowers our tackle count becuase we are running away from the ball carrier not at them. It also runs us out of legs.
We have never set up our forward line with talls who know how to make multiple leads in sync with one another. As a result we take most of our shots at goals from out on the flanks. This makes our goal kicking look inaccurate compared to other teams that take more shots from CHF. It also shows up with a low goals to inside 50 ratio. It also make our deliver look lworse than it is because we don't create clear targets.
The only think a coach can do is create space for his own team and close it down for the other team. Wallace's game plan creates space in our backline and conjestion forward of centre.
I just think of the players like Cogs, Newman etc that have played 5 years under Spud and now 5 years under Wallace. They must be thinking the club has wasted pretty much their entire careers.
