If you chip chip switch sideways etc with them, they will pressure and harass you into a TO all day long and make you pay. Move it quick against them and you're a chance. I noticed when we won quick ball out of the centre and got it into the F50 direct and fast, their defenders were exposed. We kicked a couple in a row doing it at one stage. We didn't win enough ball in the middle IMO.
My associate can't understand why we pressed forward so aggressively when we were a couple of goals up. He says Nthmond flood back so hard so quickly they were basically out-numbered behind the ball. We often had 2 or 3 spares in our defensive half.
We could have taken all the time in the world to move the ball sideways or backwards to make our next move forward, we could rotate players in and out of the F50 and pick the kicker. But he thought we rushed it into attack and turned it over, when there was no need to go forward in a rush at all!
In that moment behind the footy, we need a Stocker type, someone who can kick the lights out!
