For each of the three games thus far I as I assume everyone else would at some point be scratching their heads and asking why the f##&# did they do that, here are some of the questions I would like to know the answer to, you guys may have some more you would like to add:
1/ Tacking - Why do we have three players try to tackle a player and leave their respective players free for the player they are attempting to tackle to get his arms loose and simply handball over the top to an unmarked player? Why when we do tackle can't we hold one arm like other teams do so that the player can only dispose of the ball illegally but instead they seem to constantly do the Houdini?
2/ Zoning - Why do we fill a space but when the opposition move into a different space we simply stay in exactly the same position without any adjustment and allow easy transition for the opposition?
3/ Kicking for goal - Why do we when kicking for goal inside 50 still look for other options as we are walking in to shoot for goal, we are shocking in front of goal anyway so why make it so much harder?
4/ Running to the boundary - Why do we make a B line to the boundary when we receive the ball down the corridor in clear space and then either turn it over or kick to a poor pocket position for the receiver of the ball (if it even makes it that far) to try and score from?
5/ Short passing - Why do we short pass 10 metres when we could do the same by handpass?
6/ Centre bounces - Why do we allow a free man and take the gamble that against a dominant ruckman we are going to win the tap out?
7/ Kicking out from goal - Why do we continually kick to areas where the opposition out number us?
8/ Attacking inside 50 - Why do we continually when with the ball in general play inside 50 do we continually try loopy handballs rather than running toward the big white sticks and kicking it through.
9/ Quick transition - The quickest distance from one end of the ground to the other is through the middle, why when we get it in there do we then have a series of zig zag kicks from one side of the ground to the other meaning we take 10 kicks to go 100 metres instead of two?
10/ Forward structure - Why do we continually kick to areas in the 50 where we are clearly outnumbered? Why do we generally not have a small forward at the back of the packs where on most occasions the ball ends up? Why do our forwards always seem to fall over but the opposition defenders keep their feet.
11/ Kicking distance - Why do opposition players seem to consistently kick the ball longer than 50 metres but we regularly struggle to kick further than 40 metres?
12/ Getting caught holding/dropping the ball - Why do we attempt to get rid of the ball when their is no prior opportunity only to be pinged for incorrect disposal when if we held onto the ball it would have been a ball up.
