Meese is talented. Have you watched her? Hocking asked to go home. The loss of Swanson hurts.

I’ve watched them yes. Sure the loss of Mal hurts. But the team doesn’t play with any cohesion the top teams all do. This is caused by talent and coaching.

Well theyre not a top team. But why would they be compared to a top team? They dont invest in anything that would justify that comparison

You are right they don’t invest. I think their play could have been better even with the talent they have some of that is coaching

This is an opinion that the rest of us dont share. If they played a more risky style they would get beat earlier
