I watched the Anzac Day Match between Pies and Bombers yesterday and while the intensity was there I thought the skill level of both these sides quite poor. The amount of times players gave the ball up without huge pressure was astounding. The other thing was that under pressure players were very scrappy. The Swans used to be sus under pressure but we now are very good in that area. The delivery of both sides to the forward half was pitiful and any good backline would have punished them. The Forwards were also quite ordinary and Bombers were hard put to find a forward who could get a kick let alone kick a goal.
I believe if these teams play like that against good sides they will get walloped!
