Quick kick ins

[Bleed Red Blood]

Did anyone else just watch the Pies/Bombers game?

I lost count of how many times both teams used the kick-ins to go straight from one end to the other without the bull@@@@ I watch in our games.

Very, very frustrating.

The way we under utilise this new rule is driving me up the wall now especially after watching today's match and any match involving the Western Bulldogs.

Roosy said a couple of weeks ago that there was no specific directive to our players to slow down the kick-ins - as reigning premiership coach you've got a fair bit of leeway to say what you want, but those comments were quite patronising.

We regularly have guys turning their backs on the ball and leaving it for a team-mate jogging in from 20m away - on other occasions actually deliberately ignoring free players just to slow things down further.

Obviously it isn't running down time off the clock - it's all part of our gameplan to avoid an open, flowing game at all costs.

We play ugly, boring football which is palatable when we grind out close wins, but it's pretty hard to defend when we're not winning.
