When you lose by 100 points it's a player issue.
When you lose by 1 point it's a coaching issue.
Blame bad kicking all you want, blame mistakes, blame injuries and depth. Collingwood kicked poorly too and had injuries to key players.
At the end of the day our players have started the season lacking confidence, lacking cohesion and a killer instinct. You can have the worst tactician in the world but they can still instil confidence, unity and desire to play their natural games.
Happened on half a dozen occasions where players marked inside 50 and looked to pass or passed it off. Must be driven by coaching staff, can't be a coincidence. Pathetic off season by the coaching staff and list management team again.
