Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 3242519, member: 2021"] I don't think there's anything wrong with the theory of the idea, it's just the execution is easier said than done. It's one of the reasons Melbourne were on top for so long, because Smith is an absolute master at controlling tempo. But do you honestly believe Isaako has the brains to know when and where to take up this strategy? Mead? Coates? Mead might have the smarts, I don't know, but Coates and Isaako strike me as being pretty bloody dumb footy players, they're purely athletes. Dearden is flat out catching a ball ATM, he's too raw to think about any of this stuff. I think the only viable strat this year is WB style Bennett Ball. If we sign Reynolds, Dufty, Gagai, Capewell, etc. You start to have the brains in the team that can actually implement strategies. What you're saying is a really simple idea, and I actually agree that it can have specific use cases, but once again, (yes I'm repeating myself), Walters wanted Milford and Croft to target a specific player in defence and they didn't do it once. This team is absolutely devoid of brains. Seibold learned this the hard way, the only way this team learns footy smarts is by overhauling the roster. [/QUOTE]
