This then frees up other forward options for our opponents, as evident by Higgins performance in the St Kilda game. Being hard at it in defence also limits our options exiting defensive 50, adversely affecting our rebound. This isn't so much an issue when our midfield dominates, along with good forward pressure, keeping the ball out of our defensive zone. However these two aspects have deteriorated lately and it's clear that there are plenty of easy goals to be scored against us given repeated F50 entries.
