Flooding is a relative argument and as I see it, Mick was out-coached yesterday.

I completely disagree with the "outcoached" comments.

We had the tactics to counter flooding and used them very effectively against Essendon, but they require somehting we did not show yesterday: skilled and precise disposal.

There was plenty of possession in our half of the ground, and enough shots on goal (including the 3 out-of-bounds) for us to win that game. What cost us more than any lack of tactics or any player (if we can't win without Buckley then we might as well give up right here and now) was the skill-level shown by the 18 on field. Many of those HAVE shown the necessary skills in previous games but on Sunday executed them poorly and made very poor decisions.
