Message: [QUOTE="Jedhead, post: 3257087, member: 9518"] A good point you raise. In terms of football education, some clubs have an inherent culture that teaches footy smarts from very early on in their footy development. I think when we came into the comp most of that footy smarts resided with one custodian (WB). If you look at the present group of Broncos you'd have to say the majority of them were pretty clueless when it came to footy nous. You then have to ask why is that?I don't think the Broncos ever embraced the idea of teaching footy smarts as they were so overflowing with talent that they got by on talent alone. When Coates tried to catch Parra's kick off last week while trying to keep a foot on the line he ended up stuffing it up. The idea was there, but he never knew all he had to do was touch the ball while having his foot on the line. No need to catch it! When Isaako tried the short dropout. It was a worthwhile idea, but Oatsy is not renowned for catching the ball so instead he should have been kicking towards Coates. Why are simple strategies like these not discussed and taught to the team. The number of times our guys miss the opportunity to 'force' the refs or the bunker to take action makes it obvious those aspects of the game are just not in the sphere of learning for our guys. Unfortunately, Kevvie is still trying to get them out of kindy as far as footy smarts go. [/QUOTE]
