I dont mind the diamond defence, but it needs flexibility. What happens when we encounter a team like Adelaide that just flies through the middle on the rebound off half-back.
Against Saints and Dogs, and even against Brisbane the amount of goals we concede after kicking a behind is crazy.
Once a team gets over the 70 metre mark, basically they have a paddock to run and we're outnumbered with a dozen players running back to play catchup.
In difficult times I wouldn't mind seeing the old 1v1 contested footy. I'd back our players to win contested ball more often than not.
