Its round 8 and we've already had three 10+ goal losses.
Round 1, Adelaide 77 points
Round 5, Hawthorn 60 points
Round 8, Fremantle 73 points
This is seriously worrying. Good sides don't let this happen, let alone three times in 8 weeks. Feeling pretty flat about it
I believe we have the talent to be a good side but something is very wrong when a side can be smashed so often. We seem to crumble when teams put a lot of pressure on us and struggle to get the game on our terms.
In all of these losses we can't keep the ball in our forward half, the opposition bringing the ball out with ease. Conversely we can't get the ball out of defense, often turning it over gifting the opposition easy goals as our defenders are caught out.
The question is, Is this a coaching issue or a player thing? Either way teams have figured out how to beat us and till he get it sorted will won't be going anywhere.
I think we are really lacking polish and run in the back half. Boomer is trying but it's sad to see him play there.
Thoughts?
