This is what happens when you lose 313 games of experience on one side (Simpson) and a solid contributor on the other side (Newman) and replace them with a first gamer (Stocker) and a bloke who hasn't played an AFL game for over 2 years.
We just couldn't get setup today and move the ball
Cunnington and crew beat us up around the ball, there was nothing to connect, we were soft at the contest and lost interest, they were all over us from the first bounce.
We got unlucky playing them after a backs to the wall week from the media and Scott having his job under threat and they know the recipe on how to beat us
from previous games. Once Cripps is under control we cant win and Scott was smart enough to tag him with his two best players until it was junk time, then he didnt care.
Agree Stocker playing his first game wasnt ideal and Williamson probably needed another game in the NB's as he looked off the pace.....
