Agree.we won contested possessions by 21 I believe - so don't think the contest work was necessarily the issue. Just getting clean hands out of the stoppage to go was. Pies shielded the space well once the ball came out and we panicked a bit.
Interesting, a few stats we were well down on were:
Tackles - 45 vs our season average of 55. Tackles inside 50 were 6 - season Ave 9.
One percenters 41 vs 47 average
Bounces 2 vs 9 average (presumably good coaching by Pies to stop our run)
Pies were slightly above their season tackle averages for both categories.
Maybe indicates our team pressure wasn’t at the level of the other games?
