There is a lot of rubbish being posted in social and professional media about our loss to the Filth, but we shouldn't take too much notice of it.
Why...........it's clear to me the loss was different?
It was different because in the bad old days we lost because we couldn't get the football, we'd be beaten to it, lose the contest and be out-marked, we never looked in the contest.
Last weekend we won as much football as our opponents, we won as many if not more contests, we won as many if not more marking contests, and we found as much run and space as any Filth opponent. We generated as many if not more I50s, but the big difference is we burnt the I50s with poor decision making and disposal, leaving Moore to clean up over and over again in what I think made him BoG. We can easily fix this, the coach knows it, the MC knows it, the players just have to learn it! I'd suggest most of the efficiency deficits shown in the image below come about when we entered F50.
