They kicked 16-4 which is crazy accurate.
The 2 weeks prior they scored 8-15 and 4-10.

Yes, but as other posters have mentioned, they had nine shots from directly in front and within 40 metres. That accounted for eight goals and one behind. The ease with which they hit targets and were paid frees directly in front or on slight angles is damning.
At the other end, we scored two behinds from shots taken within 10 metres ?

First Crack showed Rankine going into the middle and stood on Cripps. Crows won the ball, Rankine pushed forward and got away from our captain who was right on his tail but too slow to stop him.
Next time Hewett picked him up but then just let Rankine go by himself inside 50.

Sure, its not great and will be harshly judged, but do we actually have anyone that could catch him?

We should have won, but didn't - so time to go to work to understand where we fell short.

They didn't know Walker knows a thing or two about playing FF and kicking straight? Shame on them because I'm a dumb ass and I knew all the above.

We dropped way too many marks plus our delivery into the forwardline was particularly poor.

Shame on them because I'm a dumb ass and I knew all the above.Those in charge were probably counting on us being a better overall team with more football talent and hoping that got the job done.We have often had DeJa Vu defeats over the years where the same opposition players do the same things and we dont seem to change what we do and the results are the same. Losing Cerra, Saad and Mcgovern probably left us with less pace and you only have to be a little bit off in todays game and you can get knocked over by most decent teams.
Walker is a hard matchup given he is mobile, strongly built and needed a bit of double teaming imho...JW is the best in the business so you just have to tip your hat to Walker.
On the other hand Ben Keays is a handy midfielder at best and letting him kick 3-4 goals again was a serious screwup.
Keays is neither quick, a great overhead mark or brilliant kick but seemed to get on the end of forward entries close to goal and often be on his own in the process. One for the Video review crew to check out and find those responsible as who ever had him as an opponent didnt do much homework or didnt carry out instructions properly.
