Bad kicking is bad football. We continually put teamates under pressure, by playing uncomposed footy. That was to simply get rid of it, rather than play the percentages. Result, we turned it over a lot, and I would estimate that the Saints generated 80% of their scoring from turnovers be it forced by pressure, or unforced and just loose kicking into dangerous areas.
We played as poor a game as we have all season, and the result was that we kicked ourselves out of it, more than Saint Kilda beat us. If we play that match 10 times over, I doubt we would lose it again. Its a false negative. St. Kilda played about as well as they could have hoped for, but in reality, they relied on us giving them back the ball a lot.
Unfortunately, we accomodated.
Cerra wasnt just rusty, he wasnt ready and shouldnt have played. Was a bonafide witches hat.
