Then you're into the, the press and cover.

Um, and,

And if you put enough pressure on, you'll force a dump kick and then you're available in the air to intercept.

And that's what I think Collingwood live off a little bit.

And they executed really well last week.

Do you have to be a sophisticated, mature team to do the cyclone defense?

Well, how many 17-year-olds would come into the AFL and go, oh yeah, 20, 40, 60.

I know what that was at junior level and I know how to...

defend space and visual.

It's so hard to teach when you've got a team.

So Adam Uzay, McWalter, I even think Clarko went to North thinking, oh, we'll just do this gap control piece.

And then this is not working.

And he's reverted back to a bit more accountability, defend your man, you know, leave when you need to support.

But yeah, this, this is sort of the top end sort of stuff.

I reckon that if everyone's like Collingwood's built for it with their maturity, they're really clear about what good looks like.

Um, I think the Bulldogs are working through what this is as well.

You know, you play Sydney, you have 900 meters gained by handball, forward handball.

You're going to test the cyclone.

And, um, that's why the Bulldogs defenders sometimes look so out of position because they've been breached so easily and this proactive positioning looks silly.

So you can look stupid in this role.
