    Our defensive system currently sucks, until we stop guarding space when the ball is in the vicinity we will continually get beaten by the top sides. That goal from Melksham in the last is an absolute blight on the coaching staff and players, we had 3 players back yet they all allowed him to get goal side and chose to guard space instead. It was an absolute disgrace and its been going on far too long now.
    Sitting up high behind the goals I watched Keath as the deepest defender with Pickett standing 10m behind him and knew that if we lost the ball in the forward line we were screwed. And so it proved. I couldn’t really blame Keath, there was no way he was ever going to go with Pickett in space but it should have been remedied before it got to that point.
    Melbourne’s capacity to end up with a free player in their F50 was also an indictment. It happened multiple times.

    Mate I was yelling at keath at that moment it was so bloody obvious, agree 100%.

    Kosi was loose from the first bounce till the last and going into the game if you took note of his preseason he was absolutely one player to watch closely.

    It doesn't matter, we don't tag . I do wonder if the blocking rule has affected our ability to stop players like Kosi ?

    Still refused to stand anywhere near him, absolutely he was part to blame.
