As soon as a team starts putting some pressure on our boys we constantly resort to playing this stupid brand of defensive football.
Blind kicks out of the defensive fifty, usually to groups of free opposition players so they can kick it straight back in.
Handball after handball after handball in the midfield until someone chokes it up.
Blind kicks forward that usually go to a loose opposition player around half forward.
Add to this constant skill errors and we have ourselves some very ugly football.
It happened against St Kilda, The Hawks, Essendon, Melbourne, to an extent Port, and now the Kangaroos.
The frustrating thing is, they haven't learnt how to deal with pressure after all these games.
