At least twice this year we have lost games due to poor selection and planning in the backline.

Against saints, a first gamer was selected (instead of Frost) and left one out on the last line twice in the last quarter allowing them two goals. Why was he selected? Why was he left alone without support? Who was not thinking? We lost by 2 points.

Twice today swans got goals from kicks to unguarded defensive goals square and bounced through. Where was the goal keeper/backstop? Who was not thinking? We lost by 9 points.

When both Clarry and Spargs had good shots under pressure, swans had a goal keeper to cut off the score and launch a counter attack. How hard is it for us to do the same. Why on earth did we draft Lewis if not to be the leader of the backline to guide and be an on ground general to ensure that we have a proper structure? Where is the coaching staff to coach simple defensive measures? Who is in charge?

Two goals in each of the two games has now cost us two potential wins that would have secured a spot in the eight and maybe better.

If we do make the finals I will look back on these six moments and think deeply about who was asleep at the wheel. Even if we fall in, I will be cursing.

Go dees.

My favourite part was how consistent we were from start to finish. You would think if everyone watching understands the importance of hitting up short options, the team would get the message. No!

we ignored the short option when it was necessary, but took it when it wasn't. why deliver a short pass when you're running inside 50, directly in front?
