If we don’t play any tall forwards that can neutralise marking contests, we should kick the ball end over end along the ground into our forward line. This would at least create 50/50 opportunities. I’m 100% sure this would work better. There is no way our small forwards are ever going to compete with most tall defenders in the air. Why be conventional?

New Game Style to revolutionise the AFL

The funny thing is on Wednesday night at the ground a few of the Tiger supporters around me were joking about how we should kick the ball end on end along the ground into the forward line .
Maybe it is not a joke ?

We won the flag in 2017 just bringing the ball to ground with Jack as the sole key forward. Dirty ball is not a silly as it sounds.
That said I'd prefer Yze trying to teach our youngsters to play footy better brand with a long term view than patched up style.

That was largely our ‘chaos’ ball style. Keep it moving, get it forward at all costs. It didn’t look pretty, but it worked. Another part of it, and this is where we miss the likes of George, was once we got it in there, we kept it there until we scored.
Why not once we get in front, we keep kicking the ball deep into the crowd.
How many balls does the afl keep at games? Knowing them, not too many.
What are they gonna do once they run out of footy’s?
We win. The umps can gagf.

We need to recruit tall athletic types.
Too many short players in our side all over the ground.
Some of our new ones may fit the mould but we need more classy tall runners.
A true leading forward like Kyle Langford would be ideal to straighten us up a bit.
It’s a long shopping list…

Yep. Thing is, we now have LeFau. And Fawcett. It's on the agenda I'd say. I'd kill for a super smart......JR type!
Without tall marking forwards it is futile bombing it in. Not much leading to space to the kicker happening either so why not try it. A positive is we wouldn’t have to practice it much. We already have a few proponents mastering the grubber kick
