Similar to the Mick Malthouse gameplan when going forward. No point getting the ball inside 50 if you get hurt on the rebound. Get the ball inside 50 and put it in the umpires hand and back yourself in.I think in several of those instances the footage shows we had an open F50 target that was missed, so the perspective that it was some how to plan might be a bit of gilding.
In one case I saw, we had three or four players setup coming in from the right forward pocket and we kicked it straight over their heads to the left of the goal square to the advantage of three defenders, but luckily for us they spilt the mark and we forced a stoppage!
