What's your thinking?I really couldn't care what the title is, doesn't sway my thinking at all
You need to reduce the size of the green by about half.Yep.
Simplify it down. Draw out a map of the 50 for him.
Anything right of the goals within 35/40 he can snap.
Anything left of the goals or over 40 he must kick a drop punt.
Work out a routine for both.
Practice them. Lots. Then practice it again.

And demanding the ball in front instead of on 60 degree plus anglesYou need to reduce the size of the green by about half.
It's not just the percentage chance of any specific shot, it's increasing the routine and the confidence in kicking a drop punt.
The pre-season reports were underwhelming.I wonder how we are training? I have always thought that you train your guts out in the off season and in season it becomes all about skills and maintenance. Are we flogging our guys too hard and burning them out mid week? IMO sometimes the coach will want to train a side hard after losing when sometimes the best thing is to focus on being fresh and honing in the skills. It's just that we look flat, run out of gas we, just has the look of a side who's either not doing enough or doing too much. Surely Russell is all over this and we are listening to the guy.
The pre-season reports were underwhelming.
Absolutely he does.Indeed I do. Doesn’t Power look after the Ressies?
I've been thinking this since last year. The forward coach needs to sit down with him and agree on a plan together so he has some input and is comfortable with the zones. After that the decision is out of his hands and he has to follow it without any deviation. I would much rather see him miss with a drop punt outside the yellow area than see him hit the belly of the ball again trying an impossible snap from too far out.Yep.

That was 5 years ago. 5 years ago we had players from the previous 5 years beat Richmond in a elimination final. Sounds irrelevant doesn't it? So does the Collingwood final 5 years ago.Because collingwood have a list that played in a grandfinal in 2018 underpinned by a high functioning board and football department
Also low energy from some reports.Fair point. In hindsight the signs were there. I watched videos of 3-4 training sessions and saw one live. Lots of bombing the ball, skill level pretty low, bad goal kicking, low use of the corridor. So pretty much what we are seeing in game.
I attended 3-4 Lions sessions and they were way more impressive.
I think we might have been in denial over preseason as we look for anything to get excited about and are quick to make excuses (skills are scrappy but it's preseason ect).
Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t know I had to be all rainbows & sunshine because it’s a “welcome to”
U might want to check out the other part of the heading
Does the Voss gloss still dazzle?
I just don’t understand how I & so many football pundits have got the second half so wrong. Nothing changed in how we played, it’s all just kicking straight
Still too lax imo, what you describe is kinda what he's doing already.Yep.

I think the end to last year and missing finals by % after being in the 8 every round has done a number on them mentally. Struggling to see another reason why literally every player on the list bar 2 or 3 has gone backwards.Also low energy from some reports.
I guess if playing in a grandfinal does not mean Collingwood's list is better than a team of 10 year non finalists(Carlton) - you might be rightThat was 5 years ago. 5 years ago we had players from the previous 5 years beat Richmond in a elimination final. Sounds irrelevant doesn't it? So does the Collingwood final 5 years ago.
They couldn't even kick the right side of the ball, it was that bad.
I’m not sure it’s all doom and gloom as I keep reading the posts from the last three weeks.
Last year we had a game plan with all gloss but not substance to halt momentum swings.
Voss has corrected that with a slow pace methodology to stop these swings. It’s a hard watch I agree. Maybe a slight over correction but also playing into this is poor decision making and efficiency which has halted our improvement.
Last week against the bulldogs in the third quarter, slight adjustments to the game plan I.e talls playing further up the ground and smalls playing deeper, showed us glimpses of what could be. The smalls looked dangerous and we even got a joe the goose out the back goal.
From my viewpoint it’s not all gloom and doom but just the progress we have to wear until it clicks. Maybe Voss has more tricks like the 3rd qtr changes in stall but before we use these we need to have more control on tempo footy to be competitive week in week out.
Going to be a great watch over the remainder of the year to determine our progress not just for this year but hopefully for continued success.
I just hope someone from the club is reading these posts so that all of the opinions and detailed analysis doesn't go to waste![]()

I was at the bears game and believe me Arrow to my eyes it certainly was a ****** debacle.Debacle and failure? Strange descriptions, but it does highlight the storyline being pushed by different groups
I mean, they are losses, no more, no less

One loss becomes 2 becomes 3 becomes 4.....and before you know it, Carlton misses finals for a decadeDebacle and failure? Strange descriptions, but it does highlight the storyline being pushed by different groups
