Without those straight edge runners you limit the ability to induce errors in the defensive line which opens up other options on ball spreads(decoy runners will not be taken seriously and the defensive line will peal off early)---this is why Melb focus and push themselves to play straight in all elements of attack and value players who run "tough lines and decoys" for the good of the team.

Having such hard damaging straight running backrowers on either side is a key ingredient to establishing potent attack with composed execution based on good fundamentals.

Melb always talk about "good fundamentals" and this comes under that banner.
 
They both are taking the ball with pace and running good angles.Last year everyone was always starting flat or from the back foot.
It feels like the 3 year gel bonding is upon us , finally.
And it feels great......
