For years and years we have been putting stock into our attack through draft capital. It's starting to pay dividends with the emergence of a few guys which has us sitting as the 2nd best attacking side in the comp so far this year.
Our midfield numbers are also elite. Clearances, disposals and disposal efficiency are all elite. The midfield has been and currently is one of the best in the comp purely from a numbers standpoint.
Then why are we 9th?
Because our defence is appalling.
We simply can't win games unless we at the very least break even in the midfield. On the flipside we can lose while winning the midfield battle. I'm not sure I've ever seen us win a game after losing it in the centre.
What is it that makes our defence so bad? Are we too aggressive? Do we simply not have the players or is it the game plan?
Why do you think we can't stop the opposition from scoring?
How do we move away from being so reliant on our midfield determining our W/L column?
