On the porch
We butchered the ball ALL game.
This is beside the point as given the wet slippery conditions and our teams general lack of skills we were never going to magically start kicking and handling it clean like a lot of suns players were, who train in these conditions and have a higher skill cap then us.
Buckley can't control how players kick.
Buckley can control positional moves.
So at the MINIMUM come half time when Garry had 26 1 goal and 5 goal assists and we were struggling to hit targets and pick the ball up cleanly (even pendles) you would think Bucks would of looked at Marley or Heater for a lock down role on Gablett to minimise his output.
This LONE move would of won us the game DESPITE the skill errors.
This is without even taking in consideration of the non move of Reid till the last quarter which is just as stubborn and bewildering.
If we had converted our opportunities in the first half we would not discussing the Ablett tag or Reid move.
