The turnovers created lead to scores.The aim of the game is to score more than the other team. At some point a line needs to be drawn between a good defensive game and a bad offensive game
Don’t get blinded by the ‘forward’ part of ‘defensive forward’.
Some players are there mainly for when we have the ball. Do we drop Dusty because he doesn’t get involved heavily defensively?
Others are there mainly for when we don’t.
If you want to say a specific player could provide the same defence while also providing more on offence, that’s fine. But you have to have a player in mind. Not ‘drop Rioli, figure out who for later.’
