Brisbane's form is much better than ours as is their game plan. Our game plan requires a huge amount of work and concentration, which is normally lacking for one quarter. Today it was two, and at the start of the game. There is a huge amount of wasted energy in chasing players like we had to in the first half. It was ridiculously easy for BL.
It seems that a couple of teams are working out easy ways to play against us.
Not helping our cause is Cripps, Ed, A Silvagni/Rowe (not sure how it works with Rookies), Marchbank missing - they add skill and a bit more mongrel to the side (maybe White as well)
Supporters need to understand that after 200+ games that both Murphy and Gibbs are not going to go in and extract the ball consistently.
I turned off at half time, but saw we got back within 2 goals. In the end we had the same number of scores.
We had a few with 150 games experience, a heap with under 30 and the in between ones we know aren't great. Not going to win many games with that mix, either.
There is plenty to like with the young kids, so while it isn't great watching them at the moment, I don't really care about the result.
