Ive read comments about last night being like the last three weeks etc, it was absolutely nothing like the last 3 weeks. We have been able to find a way, correct the structural issues and win the important areas we were losing in previous.
Last night we did nothing to address the important areas. Dont look at tackles or I50s numbers, look at the effectiveness of those areas. We butchered every single aspect of the game, basic skills like kicking and handballs, structure, tactics, defence, forward play, ground ball gets, ruckwork, marking. Our tackling is deplorable last night, we went too low (probably because they are trained to do it to not give away free kicks) which resulted in the man being left with his whole upper body free. They had time to look around, pick out the best option and away they went.
And when they did give it off, it was to a man in space. That is the single most important thing we need to work on, pronto. Forget about pure leg speed, we simply dont have it. Get it into space (as opposed to congestion) and watch how quick you look with time on our side. That requires smart positioning (structures, shape) and work rate. We did neither last night for 4 quarters.
