Since you were allowed to pass it back from kick off why has everyone defaulted to the same kick off. Roll it back and launch it diagonally out wide, usually for a throw in.

Mix it up a bit. Sometimes shoot? It has the same effect of giving the ball to the opposition.

Since they changed the laws, have we actually kept the ball for longer than 10 seconds from kick off?
I count now, when it’s our kick, and very rarely make it passed 5 with us still in possession.

Forward kicks it to Duffy who stops the ball, Dunk launches it and if we are lucky Murray wins the flick on. 95% of the time it goes out for a throw in.

Maybe we need to hire a "kick off routine" coach?
