Jacko - common be serious, how many brains does a player need to see that kicking to a contest where the opposition has atleast 1 big man in the vicinity is the wrong decision? Answer - NONE!

The players have no idea because most of them arent up to it. Humphry B Bear wouldnt even make that mistake. Our players are dumb thats all!

I reckon they're told if they have no option kick it long to the back flank.

If we had other options they'd go for them. Lazy players is what I think it is.

thats whats happening but our players dont run into space, they dont offer moving target to get out, the 2nd kick when it does get out usually results in a turnover anyway ... our players arent up to it thats all.

If no option kick long to the boundary. But before kicking make sure numbers in the area. Play the percentages. Players need to work harder to create options. Ruckman needs to go into defence to create a target. Laziness on the behalf of the person kicking out as well as laziness of the players on the field causing the problem. Can't just wait for someone else to do it.
Title: Re: Kick Ins [merged]
Post by: Hellenic Tiger on May 10, 2010, 10:33:32 PM
Look to see where the opposition ruckman is and kick it away from there.

Look to see how many RFC players are in the area and kick to a contest where we outnumber the opposition as well as where our better marking players and talls are.

If its a skill thing aim for the opposition jumper and they'll hit a teammate on the chest.

Could it be any simpler.

They brought up our kick-in woes on 'One Week At A Time' tonight. Something like only one of our 11 kick-ins after half-time got out of defensive 50 successfully. They showed each one after the other too  :P. The excuse given was it as typical of a bottom side with poor foot skills. Lack of precision to hit targets through a zone.

Hardwick's response in his EOTT report to the criticism of our kick-ins....

Our kick-ins also were a concern, particularly during the last quarter.  I can assure you that we do have a specific plan with our kick-ins, but we simply went away from that. 

It’s a similar sort of scenario to what I mentioned previously . . . when the heat gets turned up during a game, our guys, at the moment, are just a bit unsure of themselves.

When we take a mark from an opposition kick, inside our defensive-50 area, we’re quite efficient with our transition.  From a kick-in situation, however, we seem to think the pressure is so much greater.  Consequently, we don’t relax, and that’s when the mistakes creep in.

For a young group, composure is such an important word, but right now, when the heat’s on, our composure tends to go missing.  Again, that’s something we’ve been addressing during the week . . . trying to get the guys to remain calm and just play the game naturally.

no drawing board mate-give them psychological counselling or at very least stop captain inspiration-less from taking it.

There is never a time where he doesn't use the full clock before he kicks in.
As a supposed leader it gives others absolutely nothing to build on.

Title: Re: Kick Ins [merged]
Post by: jackstar is back again on May 23, 2010, 09:39:57 AM
Problem with the kick ins is this.
The person receiving the ball is way too close to to the actual square, thus its easier to get closed down by opposition , thus turnovers occurred.
Also you cant have players running into space to receive when already there are players there, there lies the problem.
Think about it
Title: Re: Kick Ins [merged]
Post by: Infamy on May 23, 2010, 12:01:39 PM
One of the ones we stuffed up last night we got the idea right. Kicked it long to the 50m mark where Graham & Newman were in space.
Problem was Graham had the ideal sit but Newman went up as well and they fluffed it. Can't remember what the result was.

We need to kick to our talls on the 50m mark, not the oppositions

True but Graham/Vickery will get done by Hille/Ryder or any other competition rucks most of the time in a marking contest. And our defensive talls are generally spoilers who give away a few inches.

Its that bad now that if nothings on just kick it 60 towards the boundary and instruct Gus to punch it over the boundary.

Having an experienced marking target like Richo leading from the wing would make a huge difference for this team.

Not really, the opposition will always move into a zone defence, so you can place your talls where you want really and they don't necessarily go up against a ruckman.

That's why I always like Neil Craig's strategy that you get your two best marking talls and have them sit near where the 50m line hits the boundary. There's usually only one opposition there as part of the zone and your talls should easily be able to ourmark the solitary defender.

Once you have it there, you only need a quick midfielder to be near by to receive the ball and with another long kick you will be over the defensive zone and on the fast break towards your forward line.
