Couldn't agree more, that style of footy does not work for us. We play best when thumping the ball forward quickly to a contest and running hard up the lines. It's predictable but effective and puts the onus on the players to have a crack and be accountable. Criss crossing the ball is just a deadset recipe for disaster for us, we are awful at it.

Style of play is an interesting talking point that now has more layers than ever before. If the SANFL clubs were to revert to some hybrid form of positional football; how would that fare against the AFL reserve teams?

Now more than ever are we keeping up with the interlopers?

Yep, I figured as much.

Does it jackpot at the next home ground game at the Ponderosa? Now there's an idea.

I'd love to see some traditional positional footy because (a) its the way the game was designed to be played, and thus (b) the game would be more entertaining, and (c) as you suggest PP it would provide an interesting tactical counter to the congested style of play that is currently in vogue - not just with respect to the AFL reserves sides. You just need a coach with the balls to propose something innovative. Certainly those clubs with coaches out of the AFL system and looking for an opportunity to make their name as a coach (Hocking, Carr, Cornes, and O'Keeffe for example) are unlikely to do so since they need to demonstrate they can achieve success under current approach to coaching in the AFL. Also, I'm not sure how much genuine lateral thinking goes on in footy departments. Rather than try to defeat a particular style of game with an alternative method, the approach seems to be to take the same approach and hope you can execute it better than the opposition.

Good comment Mag.
IMHO this painful game plan is nearing the end of it's time.
I reckon an eastern club is looking to score 100 points every week,
a clever coach looking to the future.
I love the old maxim 'first to 100 points wins'.
It will take time to evolve back to free scoring week in week out but it will happen.
I thought it would be more evident this year though.
Followers just love high scoring games,goodness me the comp needs more supporters to turn up.

Agreed gentlemen, there were some absolute howlers. As usual.
After another drubbing in the free kicks department (Eagles 35 - Norwood 19) is it time to start asking a few questions ?
Is the only certainty in football that the Eagles get more frees? If so, why?

Under the current administration at League headquarters, can anyone remember their club playing a match against
the Eagles and actually getting more frees than them? I'll be buggered if I can remember a game where Norwood got
anywhere near their frees. Is there a serious pattern forming against the other clubs as well? I'm just asking.

The official statistics could provide very interesting reading over a number of years. Maybe even enough evidence to
pin point and eradicate ALL the guilty parties. I have no doubt Eagles supporters also expect total fairness and
transparency at all levels.

C'mon SANFL ........ PLEASE EXPLAIN !!!

In the meantime, I reckon someone somewhere must have some extremely disturbing photos of debauched
individuals performing unnatural acts with animals. Maggots perhaps ?

i have been saying this for the last couple of seasons, the differential in freekicks with the eagles is bizarre, dont try and discuss it with mickyj though as he will rip your head off at the very mention of it

This season the Eagles have 301 frees for to 244 against. Ave of 23.1 FF and 18.7 FA........ they have only ever had less frees than their opponents twice this season, ironically both occasions were against North.

Just on the Eagles free kick thing. Couldn't it be that they play a more umpire friendly style of game? I didn't see the last Sturt Eagles game so I don't have any fresh memories of them, but it seems a stretch that the umpires love them because they are the Eagles.

They've won 13 of 15 this year, 14 of 18 last year, 16 of 18 the year before...maybe they just get to the ball first?

Having said that, Woodville Oval is an unhappy hunting ground for my lot and we always get crucified by the maggots there.
