Main issue is a lack of run. Freo always seemed to have someone running past to take a handball and a couple of players running ahead of the ball to create space. That quick movement created so much space in their F50 at times. We barely do that at all. Without that we win nothing. You'll be surprised how much the skills improve when there's space in the F50 where forwards have the space to run onto the ball. That's what we did for most of the 6 wins we had last year. Handballs suddenly stopped finding grass, our kicking into the 50 was much better, and our forwards could actually function. Then we stopped. No matter how good your team is on paper, no run often means no win.
I reckon poor disposal into the F50 cost us 6-7 goals. We'd have a bloke on the lead and miss him with an easy pass or when we did get it right some dill would drop it. Often resulted in a goal at the other end.
Hopefully everything above is a practice match attitude problem.
