Our Back line ranked 10th

This has obviously been part of our game plan for the last 6 years. When it happens it costs us dearly.

Who can forget Adelaide gaining the lead in the 2015 final.

Ball went over the back to Tex Walker who was unmanned. He took a couple of bounces from defence and kicked to the only player ahead of him, Eddy Betts, who kicked an easy goal. Out we go in week one.

This has been replayed hundreds of times in the last 6 years. The opposition gets such easy goals. They probably build part of their game plan against us based on it happening.

Let’s not forget the part where it was largely responsible for winning us a flag.

It needs some tweaking mainly due to the change in personnel we have had since 2016. I would find it difficult to criticise the general method given the success of other clubs and ourselves. We just need to do it better and more consistently.

It's definitely not our plan to get sucked up too high and scored against easily because of it. Yes, it happens to us more than it should but it's been openly acknowledged by the coach and players that it is a problem.

Getting the balance right isn't as easy as it looks.
