GWS going in with the youngest side this year of any club. 11 players with less than 50 games.
Good.

Bevo has around an 80% win/loss ratio when fielding a more experienced side. We really shouldn't drop this on.

It will be intersting to see how Treloar and Bruce react if any spotfires break out, even if most of their former GWS teammates would have moved on by now.

Just have a feeling he’s in for a big one.

Between Wood, Crozier and Duryea we have enough options in the mid-sized defender ranks to turn to if Greene gets off the chain.

He's a very good player so it's a good challenge for our defensive group.

Can't keep playing a bloke whose body you just don't trust. I think that's enough for Jong now. The medical sub offsets his injury somewhat but it remains to be seen whether it impacts on us later.

I thought intensity looked good but we just weren't clean and lost too many 1v1s.

Once we got on top and evened or won those contests, the game levelled out and then we got on top. Flynn is doing well in the ruck for them.

No doubt we need to polish some areas, but I'm actually liking what I'm seeing. Not from an execution perspective, but from a system based, cand buy-in point of view.
The game is largely on our terms, both inside and out. And when they do get the ball, players are responding in a systematised manner (Bailey Smith brainfart excepted).

We've also had the rub of the green with the umpiring, partially because they are all grubs.

Plenty of players who can lift. Big Stef won't like being beaten. English seems to have his timing off. JJ, Vanders, Scott have offered nothing.

I think Duryea, Wood and Hunter have been good (outside the usual midfielders).

But it’s not only today, but has been most games. We are allowing teams to come out far too easily. Against the really good teams, this will hurt us.

I think the plan is that we score enough goals with our method, that them getting a couple of easy ones out the back throughout the game doesn't impact on our ability to win the game.

I don't agree with it, but I would imagine that's part of the risk assessment for the game plan.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

We are not going to blow teams away, or have things on our terms week in week out. It's how our system and effort hold up that counts.
Yes, we need to finish, but this is a very good check for how our game plan holds up when we're not in total control. So far I think it's holding up well.

Totally understand the method, and if it wins games that’s fine, but when the weaker teams can do it with regularity (and may not hurt us), I can’t see the top teams not making it count with regularity. Time will tell, it I’d like to see us strengthen this part of our game.

The Bulldogs Bite
23-04-2021, 09:12 PM
The system looks fine, this looks more personnel based.

English has been pushed off the ball every time / isn't reading the flight of it, Naughton has struggled and as a result our forwards aren't predictable to each other as they have been.

Ball use hasn't helped, some poor execution of basic skill and I don't think we're trying to take the game on with flair.

Smith needs a big half, ditto Vandermeer.

The Underdog
23-04-2021, 09:12 PM
Our big mids are winning mountains of ball and just not doing enough with it.

They’re doing a good job of cutting off our options. We’ve got no flow. Hopefully we can break them down in the 2nd half.

We have looked very ordinary so far. Being killed in the ruck and they are waltzing it out of defence. We certainly aren't playing well against a team that has 10 players who've played less than 20 games a piece.

Maybe we just expected to turn up and it would all happen.
So many players can lift. Let’s hope they can. The first 6-10 mins of the 3rd should show where our mindset is at.

It will get better, 10 minutes of productive football will sort them out. 3 tall forwards not quite working at the moment.

Would be nice that if they don't mark the ball, that they don't get out-marked... English isn't getting near it at all.

And we need to be better on the ground, besides Hunter our small forwards aren't getting enough ground balls or creating pressure.

23-04-2021, 09:15 PM
But it’s not only today, but has been most games. We are allowing teams to come out far too easily. Against the really good teams, this will hurt us.

I strongly disagree. Every game plan leaves you exposed in some facet. Ours is if we can look like a bad checkers player when we turn the ball over, unexpectedly when we're in attack mode and blokes are streaming forward as supporting expectant receivers.
Our key risk focus is to limit that to maybe 4-5 times a a week. If we do that then our strength is our ability for our tactics to offset that with the scoring we get from our tactical strengths.

We need to move the ball quicker and with more precision. I wanna see Smith, Vanda, Bont and Treloar kicking goals running thru the 50. Take the game on more. Scoreboard pressure will be paramount in such a tight struggle.

I agree with the need to convert our opportunities. That's a non-negotiable in any game plan.

jeemak
23-04-2021, 09:18 PM
I think the plan is that we score enough goals with our method, that them getting a couple of easy ones out the back throughout the game doesn't impact on our ability to win the game.

I don't agree with it, but I would imagine that's part of the risk assessment for the game plan.

You have to pick a way to defend. We do what we do to protect our tall defenders and to also generate multiple opportunities up forward.

Who knows if another system would work better, it's kind of moot I guess.

GVGjr
23-04-2021, 09:18 PM

I see what you’re saying, but I’m just pointing out that the top teams (and we will most likely see it first hand next week) will make us pay more than 4-5 times a game if we allow Richmond say, to get from goal line to wing in 2 kicks.

Let’s hope I’m wrong.

I hate to say it, and it won't be popular but all credit to GWS.

They are making our players accountable for mistakes, and they are matching our numbers at the ball. This is why we are finding it hard to find that break away handball. Hopefully we can turn our work rate up to a level that they cannot match. Just like the reserves game last night.

Time, and the third quarter will tell.
