Requirements

[Aussie_Yobbo]

Right, what we need is rather simple.

We need some midfielders who can get posseies and kick some goals which is why J bowden and A raines will play in the midfield when our coching staff finally get some clue. these two in the backline is a waste of time as they dont show their opponents enough respect and are far too attacking to sit back and defend.

we also need a team of players who arent afraid to kick the ball forward to our tall ragets quickly, otherwise delist richo hughes shultz and riewoldt and bring back rodan krak marty mcgrath and any other midget or retired jockey available.

why the hell do we try and play such a skillful brand of footy when its clearly evident that we dont have the skills to do it? kick the bloody footy long and mark it. the kangaroos havent got anywhere near as gooda list as us yet are second on the ladder. they dont nedd 50 rebuilds before they get back up there. lets stop talken crap and actually do whats needed, score goals, the old fashioned way

no wonder richo gets frustrated, to be frank i dont wanna see him go without a premiership medallion, but it will happen, i just hope that cleve and jack dont suffer the same burdens because our stupid coaches wthink we are so much quicker and skillful than we are. kick the bloody thing long and give us half a chance, if they flood then run around them... surelys we arent as bad as the ladder suggests/..

I believe we should closely study the most successful teams from the last 15 to 20 years and emulate them.

I way i see it we are not gonna challenge for a premiership for 5 years imo.

Then you gotta ask yourself who on the current list should be there when that time hopefully comes.
Richo, J.Bowden, Johnson & Brown will be retired by then.

Our most experienced players at this time will be Pettifer, Newman & Coughlan who will be 30.
This is what i reckon & then hopefully fill the gaps & draft well over the next 5 years:

B: Newman, ,King
HB: Casserly ,
C: Edwards, Deledio, Connors
HF: Pettifer, Riewoldt,
F: , ,
R: ,Coughlan, Foley
I/C: , , , ,



The rest are players i'm not convinced on, Unproven or duds.
I know Casserly & Connors are untried but i'm confident the'll be good players for the rfc.

Skill, skill and more skill. WE NEED PLAYER'S WHO CAN KICK THE DAMN FOOTY!!!!

We desperately need to draft a ruckman & a key defender & inside midfielders.

We are not gonna have trouble finding players to delist...... take your pick: P.Bowden, Hall, Hartigan, Hyde, Jackson, Knobel,
Moore & Schulz. And use Meyer as a possible trade.

Then the year after hopefully Tuck & Johnson go.

I think TW is attempting to set new trends rather than emulate past ones.

If thats the case its best Terry put his new trends in the rubbish bin.

TW needs to use the KISS approach because whatever he is trying to teach our team to do, they cannot do it at the moment.

Maybe. The picture will be much clearer by the end of 2009.

It's pretty foggy now. Too much soft shoeing around. Someone standup and take some affirmative action and close the door on some careers..... and not just those listed further up the page.

I remember it being said when Wallace got the job that he had extensively studied premiership teams and had an ideal team structure and game plan in mind based on that study.

 

[Ghost of Punt Road]

Can I suggest something a bit different?

I think the players we have now are fine.

What we are totally lacking is on-field tactics and training. Adelaide for instance constantly clear the right or left half of the ground to provide space for their upfield targets to lead into.

Hawthorn, when standing the mark, stand not right in front of the player kicking, but off towards centre of the ground to block up the corridor and force the kick wide.

Hawthorn also, at around-the-ground ball-ups, make a line of players on the defensive side to flick the ball along if they win it (like rugby), or to tackle their opponents if they win it.

The Tigers, when the win the ball in defense, look up and see wandering rabble ahead, so can't pass it, and then look woeful when tackled or forces to scramble a late kick. Our up-field players aren't making space, aren't leading in any systematic way, etc. We have no plan to get upfield, it isn't going to happen without a real system.

Run-and-carry is what you do when you have a total lack up system to get up the field, and have no upfield teammates to pass to.

What we need is far, FAR smarter play strategies.

Many layers of them.

It could also be the players are too 1 dimentional & they have been trying to address this with the new players brought into the club.

The basketball victory "Adelaide" game. Ugly & it came off. We need skillful players to execute any new plan & TW is not naive & probably just as frustrated as we are. Remembering he has turned over 2/3 of the list since he has come to the club, he is trying.
