Teague will need to get the balance right, because we can certainly kick a score. If we can sort out the defense off turnover allowing for easy goals, I don't think we're far off.So what is the root cause, do we think it's an Inside D50 problem or does the problem lay elsewhere, like a lack of defensive run from the Mids or the Forwards?
I can't help but recall Doc and sMurph or Simmo berating Cripps last year for not chasing the opposition after a midfield turnover. They really gave it to him out at CHB while the opposition setup for a shot on goal. Stuck in my memory, the old blokes berating the young captain. I think from the gestures they had expected him to insert himself between CHB and FB to fill a space.
