Similar to other clubs with new coaches we came out firing in first few rounds but now other clubs are matching our intensity. Saints had done the work and unpicked our game plan that relies almost exclusively for goals from transition.
Not many positives outside Lewis and reeves. Senior players were poor and saints extra pressure around ball and on the kick inside brought us undone. Far to say Mitchell was outcoached.
Our list is pretty threadbare in terms of depth. Outside bringing shiels or Phillips in not many options for a midfield getting beaten and the kids in Ward/macca looked tired. Reeves is doing a power of work but going to need a chop out at some stage.
Could be a long year. After hopes we raised in the first few weeks yesterday was a reality check on the long grind we have ahead of us.
