@DeadlineDavis@MatthewBeggs Yup, the +1 is setting up skinny too waiting on the obvious. Collingwood just move it off the line with no pressure at the source. 1 chain and the +1 is made irrelevant. Too easy.
Brisbane shut down mode needs a bit (a lot) of work. Conceding 3 goals in red time by moving Rayner behind the ball and letting the mids bleed out. Naicos just walking through the stoppage to end 1H. Just shut it down at the source.
@MatthewBeggs It's genuinely bizarre given Collingwood prioritise saturating stoppage as is, you're basically accepting you'll concede the clearance and bank on defending pressure free entries.
@OllyNoonan@MatthewBeggs Brisbane pulling stumps with 3 minutes left in the quarter by putting an extra back, despite having the run of play, and immediately conceding 2 goals. One Fages and co will lose some sleep over
Seems like a given Freo will wind their press up a few gears in the 2nd half and be more aggressive shutting down North kick and catch from the back half. Kangas a young squad living in the comfort zone 1st half, surely some questions coming to test the capacity to adapt.
