Re: We were Up by HOW MUCH?

I don't think other teams mind that much if we do win the clearances. When we do, all they need to do is pressure us and we'll turn it over or miss the goal if we do get that far.
Geelong had this philosophy in the past seasons. They were not worried if they didn't get the clearance. In fact they enjoyed not doing so, in order to stick a few hard tackles and get the ball back, and then play on their terms. Hawks were the same, but the games of this season show this might be a mentality of the past for top 8 sides.
