The side has two weaknesses. We lack genuine blistering pace. We have introduced more pace into the team recently which has coincided with our improved results but we don't have a lot of line breaking run. Our second weakness is the lack of height in our backline and when the team is losing the contested possession aspect of the game, as what happened last night, and the ball comes into the back line fast and long, and a big forward starts taking marks, we will be in trouble, especially if Weitering is struggling with injury. Our lack of genuine pace means when we don't have the ball and the opposition is implementing their skills and not turning the ball over through skill errors, we struggle to win the ball back.
I thought the players looked comfortable at quarter time which probably led to their lack of intensity around the contest during the next two quarters. While I thought some of our systems broke down during the second and third quarters I don't think we totally folded like we have in the past. It was good we fought the game out.
