So disappointed with tonight’s game. I sincerely like Fitz as our coach, but he’s clearly struggling in getting the players focused and primed for each game. Surely we had to know Souths would come at us hard. Bennett would have demanded it after last week and with Mitchell out they needed to step up.
It wasn’t great that the ref kept blowing the pea out of the whistle and even I got frustrated that he seemed to be only refereeing one team. But like most of us have said all year, we have to be better than that. Our discipline was just terrible.
Hynes and Trindall were awful. Both were like deer in headlights. Our forwards and backs got outmuscled. We had no cohesion which is both strange and ridiculous for a team that has been together for so long.
I honestly don’t know what the answer is. I don’t know if anyone knows. But something has to change. The players and the coach need to take responsibility and be accountable for the way we are playing.
For next week, it looks like Brailey is out. Perhaps Ronnie and Jesse are back in. Whichever way you go, we’re going to struggle if we put in another performance like that.
