AFL Rd 1 2020: Post Game Post Mortum: Carlton vs. Richmond

[Gointocarlton]

I mentioned elsewhere, don't know if you read it.

Teague said pre-game, and this is the same message from last year, that he wants to get the ball forward and lock it inside 50/forward half.

Getting the ball forward is self explanatory.
How do you lock it in?
Obviously if you can find a teammate inside 50, hit him up. If not? Bomb it long towards the boundary. If you can't mark it, ensure the opposition does not. They will most likely spoil it towards the boundary and cause a throw in.
This gives you time to set up for the stoppage, and set up your wall across half forward.
From there, back cripps and co to win the stoppage and get a shot on goal.

Its a 'cousin' of the malthouse game plan of go long down the line if nothing is on so you are not beaten on the slingshot.

Bombing long towards the boundary is one thing and I understand that but we dont do that. We bomb it straight down the middle and the oppo defenders lick their collective chops. I cannot be convinced that our fwd entry play has any form of system ATM.
