Dog days ahead for Robins

Dale Tonkin

North Broken Hill’s seniors struggled a little last week tactically against South but there quality will get them through.

On the other hand, West had a real in round two against the Maggie’s and I dare say they will have a crack at north this week.

But chances are North have to much quality and speed around the ball even last week against South you could see that speed they were just caught by a better team on the day structurally and tactically.

If the dogs can fix that up they will be a force to fear however seven days ago they allowed South to walk out the front of the stoppage to many times and didn’t equalise around the ball but I won’t be giving up on the dogs at all.

I still think there the team to beat I would really like to see the Dogs use layers around the contested ball; first player gets the inside ball, second player arcs around and gets to the outside.

That could even help the Maggie’s but I’m just a simple ex-coach who observes these days and don’t won’t to thrust my thoughts on any team.

Having said all that it’s the Dogs for me by 30 points.

I just think there run and skill level will be to much for the robins enjoy the football everyone.
