We have a bunch of blokes who do not want the responsibility of kicking goals. I was shocked to see the likes of Lamb and Wright looking to dish off when they had time and space to snap the ball from within 25m. At AFL level time and space inside 25m is just two or three steps, if you need more time than that you need another career!
Our marking forwards were made to look ordinary because our mids could not kick to advantage. If a forward had front position, they'd kick it on top of his head.
If a forward was leading to his left, they'd kick to his right.
The ball was almost never kicked out in front to our advantage inside 50. Can't blame the wind as there was none. Just simple skill errors.
