Yep some many unforced errors with ball in hand just giving up easy goals to the opposition. The backline was atrocious tonight in all aspects of the game. It really felt like those games against eagles and north last year where we won and didn’t deserve to, yet it painted over the cracks of how bad we were going. Yes it would’ve been good to get the 4 points last night in the context of this season, but really what does it achieve, playing footy like that will get us nowhere. I’m also content that last night blew up in the players faces and they didn’t get the satisfaction of the win. Now the pressure really intensifies on the group and some tough calls can be made. 3 blokes in the midfield are trying their guts out, outside that no one is really playing with the intensity required to compete in the latter stages of the season.There was a bit of mumbo jumbo in the presser but he was on the money when he said where are not where we want to be because we simply do not execute well enough under pressure.
