What worries me...

Post: # 643703Post Gilbert=Legend »

Now, i don't mean to be negative, the only thing that worried me was the ease at which they moved the ball out of the back of the packs. It hurt us last week and could have done it again if our fantastic defence didn't play so well.

Great game all around

Go Saints

If you have extra players behind the ball, it's a bit hard to have them goal side of the packs as well. Perhaps if they let us play with 22 men on the ground, it would work.

I didn't like that aspect either. Collingwood won some of the clearances a bit too easily as a result.

What worries me is that some people will do their head in before next week. ;)

basically it was because of the tactic we played of a free amn in defence. I'm not sure if it will work as well this week, mainly because the hawks have great left footers in hodge, dew et al who can get over this spare man deep to the big forwards. Will have to go back to the tape of our earlier win to see if we employed this tactic.

It will also come down to if ball comes up. He was great against the hawks in the guts and along with blake allowed us to pile of the pressure in that third term.

I would also note that the "out the back" option dried up when king got on top. Thats a huge key for us this coming saturday night
