There should be a leader/general/organiser for each: defenders, mids and forwards. (1 leader per position category).
That leader should work closely with their line coach and have a thorough understanding of what it is that they’re trying to achieve. Their line coach should work closely with the head coach who should work closely with a tactician who is football obsessed and studies other teams structures, key players, stats, etc…
Each player should be well aware of who their leader is.
Who would be defensive leader?
Starcevich
Who would be midfield leader?
Either Neale (unsure if leadership is best idea - he might be the sort of player that benefits from focusing on his own game (could be wrong), or a big bodied ball winning mid (traded in - set standards and ruffle feathers by putting him in charge). If ashcroft turns out to be as good as people think he will be he could be a good leader in future.
Who would be forwards leader?
No one sticks out but could be beneficial to give Daniher more responsibility. One of his weaknesses - and oftentimes strengths - is his unorthodox approach. Might be beneficial to give him tangible responsibility that may lessen the flopping and odd behaviours that don’t contribute well to team structure.
I’m just throwing names around and could be dead wrong.
I also think that some players - like Harris - could benefit from someone else in their part of the field being the “leader” might take a bit of psychological weight off their shoulders and help them play more freely.
There are no bad teams there are only bad leaders.
The Melbourne game had a clear lack of leadership with no one rising to the occasion. Having accountable leaders throughout the field would ideally minimise the looking at the other bloke to get it done factor.
On a side note I thought it was good leadership on Petracca’s part removing team mates from various altercations throughout the night. He looked to be reminding them to get back into position and focus on the game.
