I think it's mostly related to work effort to setup early through the midfield and defense, and the ability of the mids and defense to lock the ball inside F50.
Some of that rebound pressure, perhaps much of it in our case, comes from mindlessly bombing the football into F50! Not something you can fix with better forwards, and I recall it being a major issue at one stage in the past when we had Fev and Betts.
Of course if the forwards don't chase there would be an issue, but I don't see how that is exclusively related to a forwards ability to win the ball.
No it's not. Locking the ball inside 50 is just as important, as implied in my post
