Our defensive issues

Although we're gunning for top 4 and look strong when we're on, I'm very apprehensive about how far we can go come finals.

Our offense and midfield are class, but our clear weakness is our defense.

Do we think it's personnel, or team structure? Personally, I think a bit of both.

Lobb and Dale are elite and O'Donnell rounds out our best 3. Although we're a little thin outside of those 3 talent wise, I don't think we're THAT bad, I just think our game plan puts us at disadvantage.

We are so pushed up that it becomes hard to defend when the ball comes over the back.

We're able to get repeat forward entries but when teams break our wall, they usually score.

What are your thoughts? Things you like, don't like? What's your solution?

A couple tests coming up. If we can beat one of Adelaide or Brisbane I'll be happy. A lot of our losses against top 8 sides have been close, and we've been undermanned.
