Well of course we shouldn’t be doing only that. But this week we have a tall forward line (too tall IMO) and we need to get the ball deep. No team in modern AFL can hope to find a clear target every time they go forward. So sometimes we will need to kick to a congested area and put some pressure on. Yes, there’ll be some intercept marks. So what.
Yeah, but only pass it to guys who have won their own footy. Right takeaway?SunnyErnie wrote: ↑Sat 14 May 2022 12:29pm If we play attacking football and players running and overlapping for the handball we will win
I wouldn't be getting that extreme. The reality is the club is trending in the right direction however an even greater reality is our list is still short of some quality so we are still a couple of years way from being a top four side and contender.

I’d far rather that than the futile chipping around we saw in the first 1.5 quarters last week. A turnover while we’re faffing about with the ball 70m out from our goal is more dangerous to us than an intercept mark in our goal square.
The endless criticism of “long bombs to the goal square” is overly simplistic IMO.
Port Adelaide and Geelong.

And I hate losing to the smug bastards from Geelong...Selwood ducking his head, Hawkins infringing and then getting free kicks , Dangerfield just being an all round self satisfied prick...
This is our biggest game of the year and a chance to get the monkey wearing blue and white stripes off our back.
C'mon Saints
