That is the problem. Hardwick WILL NOT change this "plan" at all.

Reckon the problem so far this season is that our players are just not running hard enough when we don't have the ball. The number of times last night the Pies were streaming forwards and our guys were trailing them by 10-15 metres was hideous.

Last season too

The problems - Structure and development

just watching the replay. 9.55 to go 4th quarter Cotchin get a free kick finally. He kicks it long to full forward. What do l see is Rewoldt going for the mark with 5 Collingwood players around him. Where the hell are our players. Thats a real problem
-
We have been worked out and our players aren't smart enough to take stock on field and do something different.
That incident that TM just mentioned, why weren't the other 4 tigers without an opponent streaming to space on their own? Why were the all waiting front and square and watching jack go 1 v 5!?
-
Jack probs told them to play there
-
there is a game plan but some of these jokers are just banging it on the boot to nowhere. If the coach dont single them out & dropped them & tell the why publicly. They are just players on
a field nothing more
-
Cotchin was double tagged most of the night
-
Agree there is a game plan. The problem is our lack of run, poor decision making and poor execution eg Conca in 2nd Quarter gets the ball out of the pack, runs out of the pack and then under no pressure handpasses to Houli. Handpass is poor. Misses Houli. Collingwood get ball and ends up a goal.
-
No one denies there is a gameplan but its obvious its not right for us this season, we continue to get punished the same way week after week. What does that say? Pretty obvious we've been worked out. Sides close off the corridor and fill the gaps to where are players are trained to go and our players are subsequently clueless on what to do.
-
The problem with our game plan is that we are too slow in reaction time - both disposing of the ball and players running off their man. In just a second or two all our best options are covered and only players in less dangerous positions are left open if at all.
We really need to kick longer too.

Opposition coache's four point game plan against Richmond;
1. - Be harder at the ball from the first bounce. Tigers have soft players in Grigg, Houli, Edwards, Vickery, Chaplin & Ellis who will be put off their game by a couple of hard hits.
2. - When the Tigers have the ball, run hard into the defensive 50 to fill the spaces. The Tigers will fiddle around with the ball, giving you plenty of time to get back if you start running hard immediately. Richmond will then go long to a pocket or turn it over trying a short pass into a crowded forward 50.
3. - When the Tigers cough it up from a turnover or stoppage, run forward hard. The Tigers won't chase hard enough and you'll kill them on the spread.
4. - If we don't score and the Tigers win the ball back, man up quickly. If the Tigers can't switch play across the half back line, they'll go long to the boundary or try a suicide pass into the middle. Force a turnover or a stoppage and then win the ball back from the soft players in point 1 above.
Seems simple enough. Mick started it last year and others have simply copied.

Play on at all costs I say, no team or zone in the league likes that, we will make mistakes but its amazing what playing on does, it also forces team mates to react.
