The Hawks are mirroring their men's team for 2025, winning but not convincing anyone and the Dogs are having a crack and making the ground small so teams can't break them on the outside (4th for contested possessions), hence the 10-14 scoreline from this one.
Freo have pulled extraordinary by allowing 100pts 2 weeks in a row with their defense in all sorts, allowing teams easy scoring shots (20.9 in the past 2 games) while allowing 44 scores from 95 forward 50 entries and things get any easier against an offensively-charged Sydney this week either.
North are North.
Now to the Blues who have pulled a 180 from past years with how they play. Some notes I texted to a mate were Harrington playing further up the ground as an exit point, defense staying goal side of the Lions forwards and not allowing out the back transition goals except for a short period in the 2nd quarter, mids/half forwards putting on elite pressure in the middle of the ground allowing intercept marks in defensive 50 and more expansive player positioning and ball movement which allows for players to lead into/find more space meaning kicks across the ground are easier than trying to pinpoint a 30/70 option in a small part of the ground like past year's.
In this final video of the week we look at:
- Bulldogs Allowing Hawks Goal Side
- North Melbourne Numbers
- Carlton Defense to Offense
- Carlton Hunt
