I dunno, I can only see the top half of the guy.

I think the bourbon idea has some meritThat only alleviates the pain of watching the current forward line bumble it's way to 8 goals per game. Doesn't solve the problem !
Good pain killer though, I’ll give ya that…

What, to fill their boots with? Wouldn’t that just slow them down?

Would it actual change anything? They couldnt possibly move less
the solution
Who? Looks like a midget!
Just bypass the problem. Kick all goals from outside 50.
I propose we place all of Blitz' great minds in a room Jury Duty style. They don't come out till solutions are found.You know who you are…
BakerWasAStar, Ivan, Wimmera, Peos, Mr Sunbury, Saladin, Bender, DJR, plus a few others.I’m confident that the collective brain power of the above individuals will find the answers !
- Sandwiches and hot chips provided…
Im obviously not included because my forward line would look like this
Tippa Dempsey Long
Stokes Edwards EadesWell that’s the ‘there’s no-one in the forward fifty’ problem solved.
I like to call it the reverse flood
The ‘Drought’.
In my time we’ve gone from Coleman to Fordham, from Cummings to Joey. If this is evolution we’ll be putting a ficus at full forward before too long.

What I have found odd is how we’ve structured the forward line over the first 6 weeks. In particular the lack of McKernan, and the use of Brown almost exclusively forward. Both seemed unlikely in the pre season, but once we’ve got to the real stuff have been clearly the coaching groups preference.
My preferred tall setup would JD, Brown and McKernan, given that Brown is being played forward. All 3 need to “get on their bike” as none of them are suited to wrestling with defenders under a high ball. Add a Laverde or Langford as a mid sized marking target and a couple of quick smalls (who rotate through the middle) and it looks ok in theory.
And McKernan is a better chop out for Leuenberger than either Ambrose, Grimley our Daniher.
If you don’t play McKernan I’d play Michael, who could play a similar role.
As a tactic I’d try this:
3 talls and 3 smalls.
CHF and 1 small leading to the left hand pocket with the small to shark;
FF and 1 small leading up the guts with the small to shark;
Tall FP and 1 small leading to the right hand pocket with the small to shark.
2 talls on the lead at any 1 time and the other to stay home.
Create space and force 1-on-1s.

And practise practise practise
Okay, let’s recombobulate this.
I’d have Daniher CHF to wing, but clearly the coaching staff don’t want to, so fuggit.
Fine.
Daniher tied by a twenty metre bungee cord to a goalpost.
Forget Brown. He’s alright, but I don’t see him running so he doesn’t fit the bungee plan we’re obviously married to.
Ditto Grimley. He’s FF or he’s nothing, surely?
Smack CHF.
Langford leading mid-sized forward. If he’s not spewing at half time then he’s not doing the job.
Eades, McKenna and whoever is breaking the beep test record.
You fix the forward line by kicking the ball to the leading forward at a slight leaping height with arms stretched. It’s the kicking the ball over leading forward by about 20m or in front of the leading forward but 20m that’s the issue for me.
Here’s Komma demonstrating our forward line entry over the head kick.
Here’s who we should be asking how to kick to a forward on the lead.
Visual examples are good no?
Zerrett, Zaka, Zippa.
No-one else is allowed to kick inside 50.
Pick me.
