Can our BACK LINE win us a GF ?

[Triple B]

It's good that you sydney fans are now able to watch footy live..then you will see how far behind we are from the top 4 teams.

Which top 4 sides should we concentrate on watching, the two that beat us last year or the two that we beat at their home 'fortress' ???

our backline ( like most of our team) lacks a bit of class. We have no Yarran, Deledio type that can run out with some toe and distribute the ball cleanly and creatively. Not saying he is in the same calss as these guys, but Armstrong could improve us in that area.

main reason for the thread is that I think that the Cats and Pies forward line has looked better because of their backs being so dominant
...the counter attack and the man on man strength of the Cats and the Pies has allowed their forwards the time and space to look better and perform better....

This is probably down to their better kicking, more than being just good stoppers. Hitting consecutive targets on the way out of defence can make rebounding a LOT easier and a forward line more functional. This a team problem, not just a back six problem.
Then again we are sitting on top of the ladder so we can't be doing too much wrong.

I think 6th-8th is our position with the current line up. It's good that you sydney fans are now able to watch footy live..then you will see how far behind we are from the top 4 teams.

Cruel......but true.

Gee i think we need more than a good back 6 to win the flag. How about we start with a midfield that can actually hit targets?
