The dredded bye
« on: June 03, 2011, 10:15:56 PM »
Is anyone aware of any special training methods the coaching staff maybe utilising for the playing group to account for our bye?  ??? Watching the Bombers tonight they were clearly short of a run as have been every other club following the week off. Playing the Swans in Sydney is certainly no easy task and with the bye pretty much considered a handicap its going to take a monumental effort from the players in addition to something special from coaching staff to get them up next week.

Bye is having an impact but the bombers IMHO have 2 problems 1) there pre season is catching up with them now and there running out of steam 2) they have a few too many VFL standard players in there team who were playing to there maximum and now theyre getting abit tired the mistakes are happening.

VFL standard players regardless of whether Knighta Hird or Bomber are coaching are just that VFL standard players.
Honeymoon over Jimmy.  :help

Not much depth at Windy Hill and the Dees have been great value tonight, they may miss a few blokes b/c of injury but tonight proved that some of their blokes lack leadership also. That has nothing to do with the bye.

Makes our loss to Port last week even more difficult to swallow knowing we would have been on 22 points with momentum as opposed to their bumbling babbling and stuttering.

do the opposite of what every other club is doing..

Dont have the weekend off, play a full blown intra club or run them into the ground with run throughs. Clearly clubs giving players the weekend off is not working.

The clubs that had a bye early in the season would have found it to be momentum breaking. Somewhere along the line, the deeper we get into the season though, i expect the bye to start favoring clubs as the break will freshen them up. Depending on how long since the opposition had a break though, i suppose.

valid points there Al.

The bye is a problem, but a few of our cubs looked very tired against the Power.
