Looking at this St.Kilda/Bulldogs game and what we have attempted to do the first 2 games our back 6 is out of whack for leg speed and size to the structure we are playing.
We have been burnt with the high loopy kick to a unmanned player running into the goal square by either team we have played as our players don't have the speed to get back or go with them but watching the Dogs they have the mix right . Seems to me our size is out of whack to the system we are after. We are playing key position players in a system that they aren't that vitally important to. Also West Coast and the Dogs play or played this system in 2015 and again in 2016 without a key position defender at all they rely on a team defence to fill that void.
So instead of Hombsch, Carlile, Jonas, Trengove, Impey, Broadbent and Pittard rotating through I feel we need to have-
B- Impey, Carlile or Trengove both can't play for me, Broadbent
HB- Pittard, Hombsch, O'Shea.
They give you the right mix for this system I believe. Also the system we are trying to implement is very reliant on effort from the midfielders to run both ways something ours have shown they aren't willing to do atm.
Hopefully that all makes sense as I've had a couple of beers to drown out the loss.
