It wasn't just pace. There was one where Newman stopped running after his man thinking the ball was going out but it didn't and his man ended up setting up a goal.
We lost a bit of focus and didn't respect them as much as we should.

Weitering gave up on Walker 3-4 times and allowed him to take uncontested marks.

First time in a long while (that I remember) that he was badly beaten.

I agree. Although I don’t think you're a dumb a$$. More of a well informed passionate observer of all things navy blue! ?

Watching the replay, gee we dropped a lot of marks. And we had our chances to to either hold onto to the 16 pt lead or seal it when they came back. Owies stubs a toe, Charlie drops a marks, Zac W dropped spilled the ball which resulted in Mudguts (dead set Fogarty is fatter than me) picking it up and drilling a pass to the top of the square, Adelaide goal.
As Vossy said, we have got a lot right in the dyeing minutes if the first 4 weeks, we farked up the last few minutes this week. C'est la vie.

That’s it in a nutshell.
If you drop marks, miss targets and fumble, any coach or game plan will struggle to get you over the line.
It’s certainly not panic stations it’s a learning opportunity.

I just watched the footage of Crouch cleaning up Carroll. Crouch’s attack on the footy was perfect with his body turned to protect his head while gathering the ball. Carroll, on the other hand, led with his head and was always going to get collected.
The free was there but there is an argument that Carroll ducked into it.
Bot should study that footage and learn how to protect himself in that situation.

It wasn't even a free kick.

We have to condition ourselves to there being less contact in the sport. Crouch didn't have to do that.
