Back to Forward

[ItsOurTime]

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.

This! The ball goes into our forward line and at best it's 2 tall forwards both going for it in amongst a cluster of defenders. Or best strategy is a fast small forwards running into the 50 which has now been picked apart.

It goes down the other end and it's all one on ones all with lots of space around them.
