I heard one report on the radio saying that our clearance rate is so high because opposition teams let us get the first kick out because they know we will turn it over and then we are easy pickings!!

Surely with the quality of players coming back in this week, we ll see a much better effort across the board from our team.
Hope for some run and dare through the middle for once, and Yazz and Simmo coming back will help with that.Also, Hendo and Menz coming back will give a couple more quality targets up forward, and also hope that Levi will gain some confidence from his 4 goals last week and continue to attack the ball and crash the packs.
If Jamo also comes in, Id give Jones a run in the VFL along with probably Whiley, and Smith.

That scenario was discussed on here a few days ago.

When we get some confidence back and start hitting targets, fwit teams who employ this tactic will pay.

G2c you shiftioso......you know what they say about Italians.
Re: RD 7 : Blues V Giants (Pre-Match Pre-Amble) - ItsOurTime - 05-14-2015
When you have bananas in the forward line who are either not there, not contesting or running into each other and then at the other end defenders who are isolated and separated and a midfield which won't run hard defensively this is an obvious tactic.
