The whole team lacked composure. The opposition just kept working and working and Suns did not have an answer once they started kicking behinds instead of goals.

Can point to a few individual efforts that look awful, but honestly the whole team, and particularly the midfield group, needs to look at this review and have a hard look at themselves.

Soft second half effort. We play one good quarter a week and win games off of it.

Did we not do ourselves any favors? Absolutely not.

Were we on the end of an absolute shafting from the green? Absolutely yes.

One free was terrible for intentional. Constable getting pinged for arguing is dumb by him though.

But we lost the game, not the refs. This wasn’t a close tussle. We dominated and then did nothing.

Well Stein just cost us our winning streak with one of the worst defensive decisions I've ever seen...

Was a brain dead move, but Stein wasn’t the reason for a 10 goal to 2 second half.

Hopefully this loss wakes some of the players up and makes them realise you still need to bring a full 4 quarter effort at this level to win. Some pretty disappointing games from some of them.

Oh we shot ourselves in the foot no doubt about that

But the catalyst was the freebie 12 points they got from that malarky

Should Constable have shut his mouth? Yes. But it was absolutely deserved. I would have lost my shit too in that scenario.

Yep. No midfield accountability. Hollands is a huge worry. Seems to have lost all motivation—only 7 touches... Huge concern, considering he was in quite a few centre bounces.

At least Flanders is running both ways. But him and Constable rack it up; and then there is a huge drop off to the rest. J. Anderson was ok I guess. But we were beaten there from what I could see. Similar to last week, but went the other way.

Right but no matter how you get there when you're in the heat of the battle and it's close late in the fourth, the good teams don't panic and make bad decisions. Unfortunately Stein was guilty of a really bad decision that cost us a goal and it was the cherry on the cake for Werribee's comeback. They were pressuring us, waiting for their opportunity and they got it in that moment.

It's probably a good thing that this happened because we needed a wake up call after what we got away with against Southport last week. Tough conversations will be had after this game and it's needed for blokes like Hollands who didn't do much.

1000% this

It stings in the moment but it's absolutely an L this group needed to take.

You just hope that 'L' stands for 'lesson' and not 'loss'. If it's just viewed as a one off loss and no one changes the way they play then that's probably worst case scenario. It's probably Josh Drummond's first real test as our VFL coach to turn this L into a lesson and make sure the boys don't repeat it.

If tough losses taught teams valuable lessons, the Suns 1st team would be premiers by now :)

There might be a few things to take out of that, but as I said our midfield is looking weak. The only real difference is Blakely is injured and Davies is in the firsts, otherwise it’s mostly the same midfield fronting up each week.

Our forwards are carrying us every week at the moment. So if they get inaccurate, we are in hot water and the team crumbles under the pressure.

You're right but I really don't like hearing it
 
jake stein, welcome to the shanghai sharks!

jokes, while it was a shit decision that loss is on the whole team. shitting the bed 2 weeks in a row as a team we deserve to come out of it with at least one loss. can't be throwing away games like that.
 
Well, they can’t blame having 6 academy boys in for the fade out this week. Terrible second half.
