Essendon coach Brad Scott admits that Port Adelaide's superior talent in the midfield was the main reason for their loss.
Essendon ’s midfield didn’t get obliterated by Port Adelaide because of any tactical breakdown. Brad Scott did not believe that the Bombers wanted for effort, either.
The Bombers don’t own those weapons, nor that quality of defensive rebound/interception . Thus, they can only compete with the better teams – and occasionally overcome them – by raising their energy, effort and pressure to a higher pitch.. Consider the deluxe service and sheer abundance that Jeremy Finlayson and returning Mitch Georgiades received from Port’s mids, compared to Essendon’s Harrison Jones.
Insufficient pressure was a likely failing, McGrath suggested. “So it’s probably a lack of pressure from down defence and our midfield. But ideally, we don’t want teams running out the front of stoppages.”
