We move it wide to spread the opposition defence then draw it through the corridor forward. Etihad is a smaller ground than the MCG. I would prefer to play them on a bigger ground particularly when they are play 3 talls in Hale, Goldstein and McIntosh.

Have another look at the replay we rarely went right down the guts when we brought the the ball from defence.

Open your blunt eyes- we moved the ball through the centre repeatingly.

How did we bring it through the defensive zone?

We took it wide then with waves of running players linking by handball opened the play up to create the ability to then attack through the corridor. And that is why Etihad wont be as favourable as the MCG.

The irony of using the term "blunt eyes" will no doubt be lost on you JCB. B)

I thought that Martin should probably go back to 'Casey', to further work on his forward skills,,, but after seeing some of Nth Last night, I think the Russian needs a chop out.

I think we could also use another elite kick in the team, Strauss,,, but for who?

I thought the same but we have to keep in mind he earned his spot by consistent BOG'S at Casey and it was is first game back, A show of confidence is needed. Like you said it is also nice to give Jamar a chop out in the ruck. These two can both be quite handy down forward.

... that resulted in 80+ points.
