Thought we won enough ball but didnt have great connection down forward, bombed the ball to Charlie and our skills were down.
Collingwood are a decent pressure team, who intercept and tackle well so losing that one component like Kennedy had us just a bit off in the middle as well as not allowing Cripps to spend as much time forward and be a threat to take some pressure of Charlie.
Throw losing Weitering into the mix and we were off balance structure wise and forced to play a bit differently.
Kennedy back in the team is super important because he makes the system run better..
