No room anymore for intercept marking players only, the honeymoon down back is over and we will see who can hold there own as a defender.
Yes, the luxury of having Doc as a loose man in defence is long gone.
However, it’s not really a six on six situation. Our defence, like most other clubs, relies on protecting areas and forcing inside 50s into low percentage parts of the ground. It also relies on midfielders, rucks and forwards getting up the ground to defend territory. That may result in an eight on eight or ten on ten defensive match up.
