Talking Tactics - Our Forward Structure In 2017

[cookie2]

I seem to recall that the Fev/Betts combination got us into the finals.

I'm not going to write a freaking thesis on forward structures, ball movement, midfield pressure, defensive set ups, etc but, yes, adding an elite key forward and an elite small forward to our line up would make a huge difference.  Our defence is more than competent, our midfield is better than competitive, and our gameplan is reasonably effective.  The most glaring deficiency is our forward line.  At best, it's a work in progress and we desperately need improved performances from most of our forwards, or new forwards.

Agree that we lack the capacity to capitalise on our F50 entries and generate some real scoreboard pressure. That let's opposition teams off lightly for their mistakes i.e. we don't really punish them, and leaves our guys wondering what the heck they have to do to build up a strong scoreline to put a team away. I'm certain this will be one of our main focus areas next up.
