Talking Tactics - Our Forward Structure In 2017

[LP]

No it's not.  Locking the ball inside 50 is just as important, as implied in my post 

So you think better forwards fix the problem, even if the mids and defense fail to setup correctly, or if they bomb the ball into F50 mindlessly?

I find it hard to imagine a forward, any forward, good enough to cover for a poor structure or crap ball use, they'd be dead on their feet from chasing after a quarter of footy.

I agree with Paul, as he has already highlighted, that a single factor cannot possible address the issues in isolation. In the Adelaide example, it's clear their mature list maintains structure and applies pressure all over the ground. If they didn't Betts and Walker would be wasted, just a the Fev / Betts combination was wasted in the paste.
