Sydney weather - local weather forecast
looks like we will be playing in he wet or slippery conditions again on the wknd !
i am truly hoping we are learning from our wet weather games.........it appears that we are still being picked off on our forward entries in the wet slippery games
what i have noticed was when Mal or Shaw came flying out of the backs and kicked it too our 1 attacker on 3 defenders upfront in the first half we really struggled and Richmond just kept jamming the ball back in our 50m defensive arc........for me opposition teams know we love to find a big target upfront and that means they know it the wet or slippery conditions that it is unlikely Shaw or Mal will take a bounce on their rebound plays and therefore they will simply kick it long to an unfair 1 on 2 or 1 on 3............we truly need to find that extra hand pass in the wet before kicking !
Freeo are fantastic at playing the same game plan as Richmond did on the wknd but they have many more forwards to capitalise on their forward pressure
I did like how we adjusted with small to med forwards in the last parts of the 2nd qtr and 3rd qtr though and hence why Rohan is so important to be in the team with his flexibility to play upfront or back in parts of the game to get a mis match and re adjust the opposition game plan
