We just dont have the big bodies apart from Cripps and in conditions like that especially when Gawn dominated the ruck we were going to struggle...E. Curnow was a big loss in those conditions..
Melbourne did their homework too and had some good matchups, we struggled in the coaching box and were slow to move players IMO.....
Melbourne are an ok side but not 100 points better IMO....OShea, Mullet and Rowe were woeful which didnt help either.....
EB we were like little boys being pushed around by tough big men. Our tackles were contemtuously shrugged far too often. The need for bigger bodies at the coal could not have be made more obvious.
Reality always wins in the end.
