  • Subtitles section
  • It seemed like the game was pretty much over before time around the second quarter when you looked at the margin blue out to 44 points, was that probably the most disappointing aspect, how they just got the jump on you like that?
  • Yeah it was and they were two different sources.
  • First quarter there was stoppage goals and that was the gap and then the second quarter it was through transition.
  • I hope they're top of the team, top team for a reason.
  • They're not going to surrender that back too easily.
  • We were able to probably get in the fight a bit but the fight doesn't win you the game.
  • So that's where we find ourselves, we find ourselves in a situation where right now we're not good enough and we've got to find a way through that pretty quickly.
  • It seemed like really bad turnovers and a bit of a disorganised back line, those two aspects really sort of undid you quite a bit in that first half, did you see it that way as well?
  • Look I don't want to be walking out of here and being lost on the message that defensively we're not good enough right now.
  • I understand there's been some chatter around what we need to do offensively and how we can maximise better and be more efficient going forward but the reality is this game's imperfect.
  • There's mistakes happen.
  • How you correct those mistakes and how you flick into defence quickly so you can get a ball back quickly, we're just not recovering it quick enough.
  • So that's what we've got to go to work on as a footy team and that's our expectations that we have of our team and we're falling short on that at the moment.
  • So we get in the fight in the second half, we had some great territory in the field, score was not really ticking over and they go down the other end and they score a goal against a run of play.
  • If we're not scoring they shouldn't either and that's the standard we've got to hold ourselves to.
  • Your ball use makes it hard sometimes it seems from the boundary to actually defend because you cough it up, do you see that as an issue?
  • That's all part of the defensive mechanics that you need to be able to have to help you with that and we're not reliable enough in that particular area of the game right now.
  • So again I'll say error happens, mistakes happen.
  • If you look at the total number of errors in the game it's very minor, it's very minimal.
  • But our ability to be able to recover it and recover it in assertive positions on the ground is what we need to be able to go to work on and it's just not at the standard that we're after.
  • We just expect better and you talk about expectations on our season but that's what we expect and that's from our good players and that's from our role players.
  • It just leaves no one out.
  • You're now 11th on the ladder, nearing the halfway mark of the season.
  • Are you confident that you will be able to fix these errors that you mentioned in time before the season possibly slips away, before it's unrecoverable?
  • I guess I concede nothing and expect nothing at the same time.
  • So that's probably where we sit.
  • We know we're maybe a choice away of being able to change that and there's been some steady ground but not enough ground that's been made over the last probably four or five weeks in particular.
  • And we've had some teams that we've played up against that are in the mix for the top eight clearly.
  • So we'd like to bench ourselves off those guys and sort of see where we're at with things and at the moment it's showing that when we need to hold we don't hold for long enough and we know we need the scoreboard as nourishment,
  • Every team needs that.
  • But I look at Collingwood today and when they needed to hold the line, they held the line and they looked for opportunities going back the other way and they might have been minimal but they were still able to maximise it when they got those chances.
  • So that's where we want to go with this.
  • How do you feel the confidence in the group is?
  • Obviously it's difficult.
  • I think the easy thing to say is that clearly when results aren't going in your favour, but what we don't want to be is an outcome based football team either.
  • There's things in process that we're not getting right.
  • Where do you get confidence from?
  • You get confidence from being able to drive that.
  • In the end the W is the nice thing to have.
  • Clearly you need that nourishment to sell the belief in your football team that we're in the right direction.
  • But you also get nourishment of the way you go about things and we want to be known for how we go about things and at the moment that's just not where we expect.
  • What were you trying to do to stop Darcy Moore's impact on the game?
  • You go after one and concede the other.
  • We went after Dacos and sometimes that pulls your numbers apart a little bit and leaves some of the shape out the back.
  • Again, we were getting there but being able to hold it in there wasn't too bad but it could be better.
  • You go after one and maybe concede the other and obviously at times we were putting some work into Dacos.
  • We didn't quite get that right in the first half.
  • We got a lot better in the second half.
  • But as a result of that sometimes you concede something else.
  • I'm also not going to suggest that we can't be better in those contests either that we're in to be able to fight the ball and get the ball to the ground and give our ground level players some presence.
  • So as you can tell, we've gone to work a lot around our contest and we've had a huge shift in that, massive shift in that from where we were in the first half of the year.
  • But then once you get the contest right it becomes a system based game and you've got to be better on both sides of the ball and right now we're not that and we haven't been that and we need to be better at it.
  • How much of a factor is it, like Wierin is obviously a great player, he's got Lewis Schoening, Mitch McGovern, but how much is it a factor of them not being able to get the intercept marks that they probably were earlier?
  • We know team systems are not just about back-sixes, about how we have that collective buy-in, collective intent towards that part of the game.
  • And then from those positions, from better positions on the ground you get to be able to launch from.
  • So to sort of place it on one or two individuals I think would be a bit short-sighted.
  • Tom
  • Deconning came back through the VFL this week, is there a chance he comes back in?
  • Possibly, but right now I'm going to deal with this game.
  • Tom's been off for a period of time, I understand there's a conversation around that.
  • He did really well from what I'm told.
  • Watched parts of the game, didn't get to watch all of it unfortunately.
  • But I'm told he did pretty well.
  • But that's something we'll assess in the coming days.
  • Is Pat Agao in that same basket as Tom?
  • Yeah, he probably is.
  • There's probably a couple of the guys that fit in that category, yeah.
  • But again, I've seen three-quarters of that game, I didn't get to see all of it.
  • So I'll get to go back and watch that over the next 24 hours and sort of make a better assessment from there.
  • Did you have an injury right at the end?
  • Someone in front of the bench?
  • Sorry, who was that?
  • Can't remember.
  • Dirds.
  • Maybe.
  • Right near the end.
  • Yeah, I think it was Dirds.
  • He cramped.
  • Yeah, pretty bad cramp from what I can see, thankfully.
  • Because it looked like he might have hurt himself, but I think it was just cramp.
  • You mentioned scoring earlier.
  • Only seven goals from six.
  • I'm not going to get lost in offence.
  • You can ask me about it.
  • But I'm pretty clear on what we need to get better at.
  • So I don't want to be confused walking out of here, guys.
  • Get after that.
  • That's what we're going to get after.
  • If you've got an objective for the next couple of weeks, it is more measurement.
  • I think you know.
  • And maybe the scoreboard ticks over as a result of it.
  • Because you come better at that phase of the game.
  • So, as I said, contest game shifted.
  • Yeah, tick.
  • We've been able to get some of that.
  • Not quite at the level we needed it to be today.
  • But the system based on both sides of the ball needs to be better.
  • I'll hit that on repeat.
  • Nick Dacos, he seemed to nullify him pretty well, considered by Dacos' standards.
  • Yeah, he did.
  • Yeah, we didn't get it right probably in the first half.
  • And he was able to set up their chains a little bit.
  • But yeah, certainly in the second half it was a bit more.
  • But as I said, sometimes you go after one thing and you've got to concede another.
  • And that's just all parts of your game.
  • And sometimes that's why it makes it really hard to be able to get the ascendancy you want within games.
  • Because it's just a bit of hard work to try and get the ascendancy in the game.
  • So, you muscle your way through it.
  • But it doesn't have as much, I guess, efficiency attached to it as you'd like to.
  • So, again, I can sit here and sort of say there's parts of it that we really like.
  • But, you know, I was just disappointed that we couldn't come in here in the first half of the game, put up a really strong showing.
  • You know, we will, you know, as a leadership group, we've got to create the movement.
  • We've got to inspire that change.
  • And we've clearly got some work to do.
  • We've been putting a lens on it.
  • But it's not shifting big enough and we need to go after it harder.
  • Cheers.
  • Thanks.
