The defense is arse, but the inability of our midfield to convert 14 to 3 hit outs into a good lead is just as much of a worry. Jonas a Captain is showing up so far as a shit decision. Not just as a co-captain, but we know our coaches will have zero balls to drop him if this form is what we see in the real stuff. He's a slow undersized KPD. 6-6-6 may put his style of player out of the game. I'm not saying at this point it does, but if it does I don't want us carrying him for the season 'because Captain'.

I remember when I wasn a kid playing juniors the coach always told us defenders never kick across goal inside defensive 50. It's a pity jack wasnt taught this.
That's basic soccer too!

Why are people melting?
Because it's never 'just JLT' or the like. It's the same inability to defend a run of goals we've had Hinkley's entire tenure. There's always those saying 'it was one game' or 'there's this <excuse> this time, not time it won't happen', but it does again, again and again. We are right in this to win and potentially win big, but it won't change our total inability to slow / stop a side with momentum is still a glaring issue, that good sides (not North) will kill us with this year.

it’s nice to see ball moving forward fast
Not when it's just AFLX in the real thing. The scoring is now way too easy. It'll take time for coaches and players to work out how to defend properly. Hopefully it finds a happy medium.

Ofcourse it's likely both defences are just shit.
