Any coach with even half a brain will hopefully tell you that both defense and offense wins you games and flags. If defense was king,  Ross Lyon would have a few flags by now.

Lyon's unlucky not to have a few flags. A lucky toe poke on 2009, and shocking bounce in 2010 and was only 15pts away in 2013.

Every coach will tell you though it all starts with defence. There's a very good reason Bolton is starting with defence first. It's what Roos did too. Roos was a premiership coach. Malthouse always focused on defence first, and i'm not talking about his days at Carlton. Offense is important obviously as scoring is pretty damn handy but it defence first.
