Two weeks ago we played freo with one ruck and should have been beaten
Our issue is not a ruck issue.
Like freo, Adelaide kept possession very well and cut through our zones. It stymied our ability to turn over. It made us look slow. As Voss has said we are learning and we are building.
The sky isn’t falling.
So just to confirm, you're comparing a last gasp win against an undefeated team on neutral ground to a loss against a winless side on our home deck? A team that had lost 8 of its last 10 home games?
It's not that difficult. Yes "Adelaide kept possession very well and cut through our zones." Because we didn't pressure them exiting our front half. Our turnover game comes from our forward line. Where the ruckman rests.
We went from number 1 turnover team in the AFL to average in 1 game. We averaged 19 forward 50 tackles and had 24 against Freo. (More than double the AFL average). We had only 11 inside 50 tackles against Adelaide and 7 of their goals originated from our forward line.
We can only present the facts. If you refuse to see a correlation, it's your choice.
I’m not disputing facts, that’s your story and not a fact.
My point is we are learning and adjusting. Fact - this is what Voss has shared on a number of occasions.
Based on what we have achieved over the last 20 odd games I’m happy to go with his view……full respect of the facts and your point of view.
I’m a positive guy and believe in those that are running the ship.
