The crux of it all was a poor performance from the Coach, Friday night will tell us where we really sit

Re: What went wrong.

Yes....but that is not a great stat. We won the ball - they put us under pressure - we kicked it to their lose man - they ran, carried and hit targets inside 50. The stoppage stat is a poor one as it is based on the possession that 'clears' the congestion, not the first effective possession that clears the pack.

Hawthorn - like Geelong - are only an average stoppage team...but both rate very highly in scores from stoppages....they understand what is important.

Exactly, what I was surprised about was winning the clearances then wasting it. We were the number one in goals from stoppages at one stage and we have to get back to doing that, this week orv we are gawn.

Coaches can only do so much. If the team doesn't carry out the plan, not much you can do on the night.

Further to that the coach can't do much when senior player's make simple skill error's time and time again by hand and foot. It also doesn't help when players who usually are clean with their hands fumble over and over again.

Personally I thought our set-up's weren't all that great the other night, but we could have gotten away with it if the player's had performed to level's he would have expected.
