Watching at the ground today you can see why our defence gets attacked.
At no point did we ever look like manning up.
Early on it was McGovern playing loose and Kemp/Weitering playing man on man. Problem is, he plays too loose. He lets a player come into his zone and hangs about 20m off them expected to get there for the intercept. Their good kicking meant he was always 2-5m away when they took the uncontested mark.
One time McGovern went off at Kemp because McGovern had to 'cover his man', but his man was there for 30 seconds before he decided to go pick him up.....casually jogged over to him while the ball was kicked over his head and straight to him. Me and my mate were laughing at the lack of urgency from McGovern and then the balls to call out your teammate after you made basically no effort. Kemp had been on a run through the middle before, but shouldn't have been expected to come back that quick. 100% McGoverns fault, but Kemp copped the spray.
Later on, when he was injured and got moved forward, there was almost no loose man there was still loose players roaming forward casually without anyone close to them.
It happened all over the ground. Loose men everywhere. The amount of times we were dawdling behind play made me wonder why we bothered turning up at all. Too many disinterested players.
You can see why everyone loves Acres though, even with a busted shoulder he still was one of the first ones back every time.
Ollie Hollands wasn't too bad either.
We lacked a lot of speed today, we lacked fit bodies, but we lacked heart and hunger more IMO.
Worst performance by this group under voss when arguably it was one of our most important.
To surrender the points is 1 thing. To surrender over 8% points is another.
Vossy ain't going to go easy on the boys after this one.
