Arnie's cunning plan .. or how I grew to love taking penalties

[kevrenor]

At the members post-match function Graham Arnold revealed his cunning plan for the finals series.

After the Melbourne Heart game at home on Sat 30 March he will have the players practising penalties at the northern (Bay 16) end.

The cunning part of the plan is that he wants the bays full of fans baying for blood or chearing them on, to give a more game day feel. He wants everyone who can stay behind to fill the northern bays for the penalty taking.

What an awesopme idea! Might need to bring some goalies down from the groups as well - they're probably too used to shooting at Matty and Pasfield Make it a stranger and have the crowd yell at them... And don't let anyone go home until they get it right every time

Personally, I think he's just cunning, like a fox which has just escaped from an insane asylum They're TOTALLY in control of penalties, just lulling every other team in the league, into a false sense of security, before the finals series, at which point we'll start firing on all cylinders

i think we should be doing this for every shooting practice, every game.
and mossy should have a cane so if you miss 2 in row you get caned .

You only have to watch the shooting practice before each game to realise how much we need this sort of thing.

I roughly counted yesterday and we hit the net something like 3 times out of around 25 shots. Roar were slotting them away continually. They seem to take it all very casually.
