We are really bad at these two. And even if we do slow things down or get some cleaner ball to our recipients, sometimes we dispose of the ball so badly (when the pressure returns) we essentially allow the opposition to build momentum again because we temporarily disintegrate back into our shells. Until we respond when we 'can'.
With a relatively young-inexperienced side that doesn't have a Petrie or Harvey to steady the side, we will have a lot of trouble handling opposition assaults. Unless our remaining senior players seriously get their shit together.
Our skills and composure today were deplorable. So many mistakes made when we could have capitalised. We capitulated instead.
Heartbreaking to see effort just go to waste. We can't afford any more honourable losses. Surely we are playing to win and not lose regardless of expectations from critics/supporters?
This is worse than the big losses we were handed to a long time ago when Brad Scott was coaching in his early days. We are losing knowing we should be winning.
We are not a 0-4 side. We are better than this.
