Thought it was the worst defensive performance for the year. Poor kicking turnovers were very costly tonight and as has always been the case in recent years out of form small forwards managed to hit the scoreboard against us yet again.
Our tall forwards were drawn wide and too far out way too often resulting in harder shots on goal. Still goal kicking was crap but couldn’t get one on one deep entries to Charlie or Harry - Ratten had a win in coaches box imo as we should have been able to get those one on ones but just couldn’t. Harry had a massive height advantage in the last and still we couldn’t use it at all to our advantage.
Hewitt and Cerra were a lot less creative then normal and usual suspects that struggle when the pressure is on coughed it up resulting in goals.
Next week is another tough game imo and if we play like we did tonight we won’t get those points either.
Don’t see us as a genuine top 4 team and will still need to find 3 more wins to play finals so next week is a massive game we just can’t afford to lose as it gets tougher from there on.
