I agree Thry.

We give up a few goals from defensive turnovers but most opposition scores seem to come from poor decisions and/or poor execution up the ground.

When you really drill down, each of our defenders had good seasons and Weitering was exceptional and should have been first choice for All Australian CHB.

Getting the defence right is an important first step and I think that we have accomplished that.  As much as I admired Simmo, Saad will be an improvement and we will have Marchbank and probably Kemp and Stocker to add to the mix.

The next step is eliminating those turnovers forward of centre and getting full value from our forward 50 entries.

Be interesting how Saad defends, with Docherty liking to play loose we need to find that balance of defense and attack.
Simmo great as he was could be a weak link in terms of defending and I am hoping Saad is a lot tighter even though there was that report he didnt enjoy being played in a very negative role and that was part of his reasoning on wanting to leave the Bombers.
