This was the most dissapointing loss for me for a long time.
Last week Brisbane showed how to beat up on essendon and we did not come close to replicating it.
The thing that stood out was one of the basics of football, getting numbers to the contest. Essendon did this much better than us and it allowed them an out from the pressure our players were trying to create, and conversely it stopped us from finding an out when we had hot posession.
At one stage i noticed grigg run away from a 2 on 1 ( in the bummers favour) contest to take a defensive position rather than get over and give a chop out
It also does my head in to see us outnumbered at a contest, which the opposition win, then they can still find loose men. Like WTF?
That sort of poo is a throwback to the wallace years.
