Free Saad's electric speed as the extra number at the contest suggested by Sanderson on SEN
Quote:
They’re so good at contest and clearance you can even go one down at the contest, so play six forwards, play one (less) in the midfield at contest, at clearance, and throw someone (extra) behind the ball… free up someone like Saad,” he said.
“If you lose clearance, you’ve got the extra number, and then Adam Saad is free to run kamikaze, let’s take this game on like that last quarter against the Lions, and you’ve still got six forwards, you’ve still got even numbers.
“If you win clearance, even though you’re outnumbered by one there, you go to an even-numbered forward line… whoever is going to play as that seventh defender can then go back forward into the midfield and then equalise.”
“I wouldn’t be afraid to do something like that, to give the opposition another look.”

We have to win this game, and it isnt our contested bulls Hewett and Kennedy who are going to help us here.
Its Cripps and Walsh and...the outside ball after the clearance.
WE have to stop the ball getting in the hands of Oliver and Petracca. Viney can contest against Cripps.
Back in 2013?? after Carlton won its first 4 games of the year James Hird smothered our outside running power of Judd Stevens and Murphy by surrounding them with another bunch of players who didnt let our boys get the ball out of the area...they won. Admittedly they were on the juice, played ultra dirty and played to maim and injure players. I think we got 4 injured in the first quarter....Loneghan broke Carrazzo's shoulder in a dirty filthy Sheedy like move.
