Ross Lyon says Fremantle fans can expect to see the team kick the ball more after he admitted the team has been handballing too much.

“If you’re looking for the cheaper handball, you’re taking away numbers that can be getting back front and square,” he said on 6PR.

Lyon said the game had reverted to a more “retro” style of play that required fewer disposals by hand and more by foot.

“It’s a bit more long kicking, front and square play,” he said.

“When teams played collapse-back footy, you had to run and use it.

“Now they press up and there’s less time and space, so you need to take your one-on-ones and get to the fall.

“We need to make that adjustment and that’s what we’re aiming to do.”

Lyon also said he had not taken players off the ground for skill errors, after he was asked if the players have been too nervous to kick the ball in fear of making a mistake.

“If you consistently make the wrong decisions kicking it, you’ll find yourself out of the team, but I’ve never terrorised skill error,” he said.

“I coach effort, discipline and hardness.”
