We need to slow the play down at times to our advantage. Especially if the midfield has been in an absolute slog for 5 mins just to get the ball to half forward. There is no point having an extra number at the contest, winning the ball and then kicking inside 50 to an outnumbered contest so the ball can rebound back through our zone. We need more repeat entries.And all of this relates to the OP.
Ball gets out of F50 easily as their is an out number all the time.
Defense actually defends well and wins the ball so we sling shot of half back.
Ball goes back inside 50 and we stuff it up.
Ball comes back out because the out number allows teams to over lap run or kick and pick the zone apart.
The time we lock it in generally are the deep entries that we do not turn over and get a repeat contest from. It allows the extra number to get back and the midfield to push up.
