Why do we want carney always "tracking back" why exhaust your main (and pretty much only) outlet to scoring goals constantly defending? Remember we are the jets, we defend a shit load

Carlos Hernandez, would you have liked him here at his peak in the A-league?

Defending is obviously important but you cannot win without scoring.

When a team goes forward they go forward with max 7 players, they will always leave 3 sitting deep. So every team attacks with 7 players. No Carney and Triff getting back means we have 8 defensive players. That should be enough to find our shape and defend.

I suppose id prefer to rely on the other 8 players back there being able to defend against the opposition 7 guys and look to actually score a goal or two.

We complain that they don't have a go and attack opponent, we sit back too much. But a guy who is all about attacking and scoring goals gets bagged out and everyone thinks we are better off without him.
