Fail to support each other with the pressure needed to stop the bleeding. Lack of hard running, team play, blocking, shepherding. All these one percenters are where we fall over in a 4 quarter match. I hope we win this match. Just can’t see it happening. Not a 4 quarter side yet. Mentally not there in our development. If they play fancy footy early and get ahead on the scoreboard. We could be toast by the end of the game.Agree..stopping run ons isnt one of our strong points and a quarter of fancy GWS footy with their talent is probably a winning one.
A lot of that is leadership and its up to Cripps, Docherty and Simpson etc to direct traffic as well as the coach to make moves to slow the game down and adjust to swings in momentum.
