The Pies averaged the the most kicks per game and averaged nearly the lowest handball per game.

I say why not, you get it, you kick it. Some teams get it and there first instinct is to look for the handball .... backwards.

makes slow midfield work faster

running is overrated by the time judd sprinted 10 meters the ball would be 50M down the field

Can't agree there. Judd would make the most ground with his disposals than anyone in the comp most likely. Run 30 metres and then kick it 50. I'd love for the Pies to get some real pace going through the midfield. It's no good having the most long kicks in the comp when we kick it wide and end up with shots from the boundary line that our forwards can't finish (they are bad enough kicking from directly in front). You need pace to consistantly make use of the centre corridor like teams such as Geelong, West Coast etc, because teams will clog it up and you can only counter that by breaking the lines with speed.

We have some players that can run and will break the lines, but they aren't players that spend a lot of time in the midfield at this point.

Yep - We can be #1 in behinds next year

I'd have no problem being #1 in behinds as long as we're #1 in accuracy as well

Yes indeed

Lets hope we can get Chevy Chase from Caddyshack to teach the boys to chill out and be one with the ball when kicking for goal!

Yeah... you could just see Trav lining up for goal, shutting his eyes to go to his happy place, seeing that date of his from Brownlow with two jugs of beer, Ryan Lonie as the midget riding the broomstick and David Cloke as grandma winning at the pokies.... GOAL!

Matty Lloyd reminds me of Shooter Macgavin (if thats how you spell his name) All smiley smiley but god you just hate him.
