Back to Forward

[mateinone]

I don't think it matters as much who is up forward and who is down back, barring the odd specific contest.
What is more important is that the players understand where they should be running to based on where the ball is and who has possession. Carlton's formations are awful, those in the packs or running off half back have to search for options quickly, our opponents have a structure and know where their players will be running to.

We resort so often to mongrel punts forward (I don't know what the percentage was against Collingwood, but I can't remember a dry weather game with more mongrel punts into our forward 50) which inevitably come flying back with interest.
