Why does it happen every week?

Can anyone tell me why, that whenever we score a point the opposition can basically walk it out our forward line without any pressure, which usually results in a score?. It happened so many times against the Dees yesterday, it is very frustrating to watch it keep on happening.

Whenever we play, other teams get the ball into their forward line direct from a kick out, yet I watch us struggle trying to get it to our half back line. Have the coaches got the setup and zone wrong, or are the players just that lazy they don't want to pressure the opposition?

Whatever it is it needs to be fixed if we want to become a good team.
 
i was wondering if Wallace just likes to reload from the half back line when all their guys are sort of out of the way

But yeah it would be nice if we went 'coast to coast' more often!
 
Massive issues at both ends kick ins.

We take forever to kick in, and then zig zag our way out.

The opposition get it moving quickly and take it to at least to half way before any of our blokes have a clue what is going on.
 
Last season got to see Terry's gameday board - he has plans for everything - but it ends up looking like a Spirograph drawing. Don't know if it's changed this year, but if not, that't be a big reason Plapps!
 
We need a torpedo down the middle.No one can mark these kicks today.Should give us a chance to pick up.Has got to be better than this fairy type of passing in our backline.
 
Even Walls knows that a man on man huddle can't defend a kickout. That went out 5 years ago.
 
Been a problem for years IMO. Can't understand why it appears nothing has been done to improve it.
 
No innovation is the key...... that goes for players and coaching directions. Watched them in a practice game at Geelong where they were trounced and nothin as far as strategy has changed.
