Re: Pre-Game Pressure: AFL 2019 Rd 6: Carlton vs Hawthorn in Launceston

It's interesting, after 3 seasons where a smaller, pressure-driven forward line has been the benchmark, most sides have built their defence around faster mobile defenders to counteract it. Suddenly, we front up with 3 or 4 really big forwards and there is a big match-up problem for most teams. Just need to make sure there is some decent delivery from upfield, and things will get rosier.
As Jack Dyer used to say, little blokes slow down towards the end of a game, but big blokes don't get shorter.
