Just on Brisbane, there's a blueprint to beat them.

Like, I think even Carlton exposed a little bit of last week.

But like...

If you don't let them get set behind the ball, you've got to beat them or neutralize their contest and clearance game so that they don't just dominate the game.

But if you take the marks off them and then go fast back at them, doesn't let the defense get set.

They've struggled with that all year, but they're just like, Katz did it, Carlton did it the week before.

I know they're a little bit injured at the moment and they've got a few players out and a few to come back in.

Yeah, but they've showed that their system, if you go fast enough at them, they're vulnerable.

So a lot of people at the start of the year are like, oh, Brisbane are going to win the flag.

They're going to go do it again.

Two of the teams that are going to be up the top, Geelong and Sydney, play in a way that challenges Brisbane.

I know that they've beaten them both in the grand finals previously, but...

that's the way you've got to play.

If you're going to beat them and you've got to try and get Harris Andrew away, because if you just go slow, he's just going to dominate the game.

Leicester's a great defender.

They just play that way.

Then they win it back, chip their way through.

That's just the way they've built their game over the last few years.

But this new way of playing where it's fast, it's straight, it's...

quick through the middle of the ground and forward handball, it really challenges teams to get set defensively, which is the bit that most teams are having trouble with at the moment.
