There were NO positives from lasts nights game as we all know. But the biggest grievance I have is our pathetic tackling and the tactic of not going to the man.

What is this shyte where an opposition player has the ball and instead of going forward and trying to tackle him, our player would stay 1-2metres away from him and try to guess which direction that player would go and outsmart him that way??? Seriously Thornton looked like a netballer half the time, arms waving whilst having a 2m gap between him and his opponent with the ball..

and whomever is teaching our young kids to tackle needs a kick up the arse this week.
 
I agree, young teams and players must learn how to defend and pressure other teams before they are just allowed to run loose and attack. I honestly think you have the nucleus of a good side though but it will just come back to recruiting and draft day decisions over the next two years.
