Zones take a bit of time to adjust to where the ball is. Thats why Hill just rips them apart, his speed over 10-20m catches the zone out because he runs straight down the ground. I dont know how many times this year i've seen Hill kick to an unguarded man over the back of a zone.

I think the best way to break down the zone when kicking out is to back yourself and kick straight down the middle.

Duffield has done this a few times and when it happens you open up whole ground.

Has to be hard and flat pass. Cant just pop it up through the middle.

Again why Hunt is highly regarded, low hard passes over 50m will destroy zone defenses.

Everyone watch Eagles this weekend. They pass into pocket more often then not... this just plays into oppositions hands and then under pressure they turn it over in defense.

Not players fault, its the coaching and game plan.

If Dockers go to pocket, they actually have the plan to switch and open it up on the "fat" side.

Game plan wise Fremantle have been a pleasure to watch as you can actually see what it is they are trying to do.
