Chris Scott's presser was fairly enlightening on the disparity of attitudes & game plan. He spoke a fair bit about focusing on our game plan and taking it away from us, making a point of saying you can't expect to go out and hope your talent will beat their talent in modern AFL.

You will consistently hear JLO talk about how we just need to focus on our own game, and yet yesterday, the oppositions well executed strategy to minimise our damaging plans resulted in us being very easy beats.

Mostly shutting down Clark's rebound off of half-back, resulted in Wagner & Walker distributing it mostly inefficiently (side not, I think Wagner is WAFL quality but he was OK).

Young's absence really made it easier to control Brayshaw & Serong when it mattered, O'Meara benefited from that, one of his better games, but did little damage.

Our wings of Worner, Sharp & O'Driscoll really struggled to penetrate, giving us no attacking options out wide. It's not a bold statement to say Worner isn't close to AFL quality, inconceivable that he gets a start ahead of Chapman in any position when fully fit.

Jye Amiss is probably the easiest player in the game to stop. He simply can't beat good defenders at the moment.

Huge concerns about the coaching as well, nothing worked.

Primary game plan resulted in it being game over after the first quarter. Stop the bleeding game plan was some of the most unwatchable football I've seen and we couldn't even score. 'Set sail' mode in the last quarter ended up in us conceded 10 goals, one for.
