Needs to be an all out attack, we cant try keepings off or defensive or possession football. We need to play our run and carry game and blow them away, run all night, play Lids forward at times and on the ball, likewise with Martin and Cotch..really get the backline runnng forward..ATTACK!!!!!!

Whats Plan B?
More of plan A?

Attack the players for stuffing up plan A
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

The big bodied forward has been our Achilles Heel over the last few seasons. Cloke, Hawkins and Walker would monster our defenders. One of Rance's worst games in living memory was when Cloke kicked a bag on him all in the last quarter to single handedly win the game. Rance has improved though.

Buddy usually runs well up the ground. If Rance played on him we would lose Rance's ability to clean the ball up and sweep it out of defense. His intercept marks are also crucial. Perhaps we should play Rance on Tippet and Grimes on Buddy? Really tough decision as I'm not happy with any of the match ups. Will Petterd play on Goodes?  With Astbury return to play on Tippett?

Our defense os more important to the game than our forwards.
I tend to disagree. We really need to win the centre clearances and other stoppages and deliver into our 50m with purpose. The more time it spends in our 50m zone the less time it spends with Buddy, Tippett and co. Attack is ultimately always the best form of defence!

Much of our attack is generated from our defense though. I agree though that the more time we can lock it into our F50 the less opportunities the likes of Buddy and Tippett will get. The swans get a notorious amount of ball into their F50 though so our one on one defense and the way we organise ourselves in the back half will be crucial to our success.
