When they don't do it, they're vulnerable.

So we saw them against Hawthorne the other night and we thought, how are they going to defend Gunston's disconnection as a deep forward player?

And this happens at local footy a lot.

The full forward stands in the goal square.

And straight away we saw Maynard just get, no, no, I'm part of the system.

And if there's pressure up the ground, so the 20 is critical.

And the 40 is interesting.

That's about defending that space with handovers.

We call it split line where you defend two players with one.

So you're guarding space.

because there's enough density with the 20.

And then the 60 behind you, you've got support behind you.

They're not back on the goal square.

They're right behind you.

So you can defend a little bit more spatial awareness.

And then the 60 is about your proactive positioning and your visual delay.

So McGovern would stand right where the long kick's going to go, like we saw last night with anyone who saw it.

Moore looked up and saw Maynard standing down the line.

So then he's, I'll start handballing.

Bang.
