[1] Disappointing to lose, but we were really ordinary for a lot of the night.
[2] We struggled in the conditions all night. Our kicking and marking was really down. Our taller forwards struggled to have an impact all night.
For example, Josh Cripps had 5 possessions and 1 goal, Hugh Hamilton had 8 (granted he is just a kid), Crocker had just 10, although he did manage 3 goals.
Similarly, a lot of our better defenders struggled for possessions and couldn't take marks. Kemp got a bit of ball, but didn't take many of his trademark marks.
[3] Whether it was a plan or not, Hayes was really down, as was Tom Williamson. They get a lot of possessions at this level and we missed their drive.
[4] I know Mirkov is learning the caper, but, especially in the last quarter, he could have changed his taps up by thumping the ball forward. It would have put the Frankston mids off their game.
[5] Frankston were up for this game, even if it didn't always appear on the scoreboard. We weren't.
[6] With a number of our players struggling in the conditions, we really missed the steadiness of Marchbank in the last quarter. We really needed someone to stand up in defence in the last quarter, and we didn't have someone.
[7] Setters had a good 2nd quarter, but otherwise didn't do much at all. I would have left him on because he needs time at this level to get some form.
[8] 10 goals straight on those conditions were pure luck. No other way to describe it.
[9] I think we'll be better when we get some players back. Too much is being left to too little. Sounds familiar?
