I am from Barcelona, and I've just registered. So I don't have much credit, but...
One of my mates had an idea, maybe not him... but you know... an idea that deal the two positions, can a goalie be disturbed off the ball, and isn't the goalie making the game too defensive, not attractive...
I agree that a static goalie is not playing polo, is just trackstanding or having a big polo mallet head (remember L'equipe?). So it is a very static position and i think it ruins a bit the game, so the vast majority of the goals are made just in front of the goalie, or behind him/her... that doesn't make for very spectacular goals is it. Or very good plays that get stuck on the everstanding lucky goalie.
So... the idea was, with the "D" area in mind, (the size the one in the tournament I think should be ok) not to let the goalie inside, so it will be easier to over pass him from the side, or make a pass...
would make for a more active goalie, having to adjust the position as the game develops. What do you think?
