It was a horrible undisciplined act by Broadbent. It was so typical on how we treated the whole game.
Surely it would have also been brought up pre game "tackle the SELWOODS low" - nah we wont change = 9 free kicks
The whole team (bar a few) and the coaching staff went into the game with a laissez-faire attitude. Exceptions: Ebert, Wines, Ryder and Polec.
Agreed. Getting the basics right is not rocket science and we are paying Hinkley to make sure these guys tackle properly, understand the rules, kick effectively etc. etc. For a moment there I thought we had progressed in 2017 and put the dumb footy of 2015/16 behind us but in truth we have not and when we come up against a competitive outfit we falter. There has clearly been a message coming through over the past two seasons and just as clearly Ken and co have either not received that message or they have do not possess the ability to act on it. How much longer are we going to put up with losing games we really have the talent to win?
Apologies for the rant as I thought I was moving on but I guess watching the replay of that Geelong game today has rekindled my frustrations and anger. Bring on the Hawthorn game to help put last week's disappointing effort behind me.
