Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
It's what I'd do - faced with a rule that overwhelmingly punishes any risk taken by a club to press higher up the ground, the reaction will be to reduce that risk and deploy additional players behind the ball as a means of delaying the opposition's attacking movement.
Agreed, expecting to see a lot of clubs playing their wings as effectively additional half backs this year, which will provide cover for those sweepers to drop off behind play.
Can see many matches decaying into unsightly slogs for territory gains, which are dictated for the most part by one defence kicking it to the other and back again.
Don't Port press high up the ground?

Club media team:The Eagles suffered no fresh injuries, although WAFL Eagle Ben Fitzgerald, who joined in as a top-up player, copped a boot to the head when trying to smother and required treatment from trainers.
Welcome to the club, Ben!The good news was that there were no injuries of note.
As for the intraclub highlights - everything is contact-free now, including football it would seem.
I agree, can't recall any vision of Edward's, Trew or Winder. I was keen to see one highlight from each of them, and I don't think that overhypes them with just one each.Not the most exciting highlights package to be fair.
I dont care about Darling running around clunking them on undersized, inexperienced WAFL spuds. I don't care about Gaff having it on a string.
Was hoping for more from our youngsters. That's what I'm looking for to at this time of the year. Not seniors running amok under no pressure.
Edwards always looks awful in these videos with JK or Darling monstering him, and to me that's disappointing.
Trew, O'Neil, other Edwards, Langdon, Witherden were barely cited.
Bailey didn't play.
Bit boring really. But I'll take what I can get from Kate. She's got the time this week
Did piss myself. One of the funnier things I've read in a fair while.
The highest compliment! Thanks.Is that you Dennis?
In that trial game he was in the centre bounce on one occasion.Sheed saying Jones has been doing small phases in the middle. Doubt that in itself eventuates to much, but to know there's that confidence in his ability and fitness is great.

And got the clearance and kicked to a leading forward who marked. It was beautiful.
Sounds.......just.......like......Willie
Former Cat a pre-season standout for Eagles, midfield push is on
Dom Sheed confident Jamaine Jones has done enough to rotate as a midfielder if selectedwww.afl.com.au
Has there been any indication as to whether this weekend's scratchie will be streamed or televised?
Keep an eye out on dockers bigfooty and website, they will likely stream it.
