We played with grit and determination. I was impressed with our enthusiasm. But not once did we look like winning.
The Raiders had a game plan and stuck to it. They didn't panic. They knew exactly how the game was going to play out and remained patient. They were not scared of us at all. They applied pressure easily and had us constantly on the back foot. It shows how predictable we are.They have exposed to the league our weakness.
Hard to know what our game plan was. What we lack is experience and footy smarts. We need to be able to adapt during a game when things are not going our way. This is where our leaders should step up.

You cant have a game plan that includes dropping the ball in nearly every set. You cant maintain pressure unles you hold onto the ball. We defended very well I thought but the weight of possession killed us.
So true Kerry. May have been a completely different story had we made less errors.
