one on one contested hard footy. No kicking backwards or sideways. Just forward movement of the footy in a fast and organised manner.

Like I said in another thread:

If a player is on the run about 70m out, they have an option to go to in the 50, and not have to stop and handball backwards to a flat footed player.

When a player takes a mark and handballs off, the guy is actually in space an can run on, not get tackled or held up.

one thing.
Get as many players forward of the ball as possible.
Roll the dice.
Will spew if I see 16 players sitting in D 50 behind the ball like in the 3rd quarter last night, that teaches them NOTHING

Get back to footy basics.

Shepherding for the ballcarrier and protecting him would be a start. Half our turnovers are due to teammates off the ball simply not shepherding and allowing opponents to run down the ballcarrier who then has to dispose of the ball quickly under pressure. They don't shepherd at training either so it's not a gameday fault with players going against team rules. They are told to run away from the ballcarrier for the handpass receive. The problem is the ballcarrier is then isolated and if there are no options upfield in free space (especially in the 2nd half when we stopped running) the ballcarrier has no protection from opponents chasing and pressuring him from all directions = turnover.

No short kicks to contests.

The other thing which is harder to do in the short term given our lack of big key forwards is give us a traditional forward line structure and I don't mean using Kel up forward as a fill in tall. Encourage more direct long kicking to talls in our forward line to straighten us up. In fact encourage more longer kicking full spot.

Drop Bowden, Brown & Simmo for starters and don't recall Johnson

I would like him to never allow Simmo, Mcmahon, Brown, JON and Johnson to wear Yellow and Black EVER again.

Secondly i want them replaced by Vickery, Post, Gourdis with Mcguane moved to F/Forward, Alongside Jack and Morton.

This is your time try something different and come Thursday i will know weather this football club is going anywhere when the team sheet is released.

First step was to get rid of TW, second step is to pick a team for our future and FFS those players above plus a dozen more are not the answer.

PLAY THE KIDS FFS AND IF THEY WIN SO BE IT BUT stuff THESE OLD PRICKS......THEY ARE NOT OUR FUTURE

I would like to see a more EFFICIENT game plan.

Richmonds Disposals per goal average is the second highest in the competition.Only Melbourne is higher.

Richmond 31.6 disposals per goal

Compare that to the Big Boys

Western Bulldogs   23.4
Geelong               25.0
St Kilda               25.8
Carlton                24.7
Brisbane               25.5

Most of all I just want to see a game plan that does not High light our lack of skill.

I'd like to see Schulz tried at FF for a whole game without Richo in the side. Seriously, he deserves it.

Also no unneccessary rotations- play players to the positions that suit them the most.
(ie: Mitch Morton is a good forward.. Never put him on the ball again. Not too sure about McGuane in the fwd line either)
Experience is a good school. But the fees are high.
