So many times in the past decade we've had games in which we bombed the ball to the goal square form +60m out only to see it rushed over the line and carried away to the other end, something we complained about over and over again as a losing tactic, our fans should be cognisant of that when they discuss goals and behinds.
Then go back and watch Melbourne repeatedly bombing the ball to the top of the square for Gawn, Smith, McDonald, Pickett or all four to launch against each other, and compare that to our last 90s of the game!
Think about our early season, when Charlie, Harry and SoJ flew against each other, the continual calls for them to create space!
Surely the analogy is strong enough for fans to understand.
Goals to Behinds is more often than not largely irrelevant, it's how it happens that matters.
