I'm not defending the performance against the Pies I just think our biggest issue was ball movement out of the back half. We dominated clearances against Geelong and so we were able to generate i50s at ease without it. Against the Pies our midfield underperformed and we barely broke even in clearances. So we were more reliant on generating i50s from our back half imo.
That's right, we were more reliant on generating from the back half because the midfield underperformed. Even look at the last goal from Daicos - Walsh runs with him then ball watches, Cottrell fumbles, Cerra fumbles, Daicos runs through with Walsh 5 meters behind him, clean pick up and snaps a goal.
And I agree on your last point - hopefully this was an outlier performance regarding our pressure and intensity. Will need to be at our best in that area against the Dees
Yep. We're going to find out about this group's resolve. If we're going to be defined by the pressure we apply, then we must bring it.
