eight games, the latest defeat after blowing a half-time lead for the fifth time this season to lose to St Kilda by 39 points.<\/p>\n<p>While Voss said the Blues\u2019 ball movement had improved, he slammed his team for failing to take a stand defensively when the Saints booted eight third-term goals to all but secure victory.<\/p>\n<p>Voss said his midfield had been \u201cbeaten\u201d by the

done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is that defensively we haven\u2019t been strong enough this year. We\u2019re just getting scored against too much. So there\u2019s some fundamentals that we clearly need to be able to clean up, but we\u2019ve got to be far more defensively stronger than what we currently are against any side. So, when a side presses, stand up, stand up.

So I don\u2019t tend to spend a lot of time speculating on that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will go home, I will have a look at the game, review it, I\u2019ll turn up on Monday. I\u2019ll be really clear on what we need to be able to get after, and then we dive into the week, and we find those marginal things to be able to get better next week. What circles around it is not for me to speculate on \u2013 what we will do is get after what need to be able to get better at.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><iframe data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" frameborder=\"0\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/interactive\/modules\/graphic-embed\/?resizable=true&amp;v=128&amp;configUrl=https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/interactive\/hub\/configs\/graphic-embed\/57009.json&amp;v=0.2321175448147056\" class=\"sc-a37c8537-0 sc-d102cce5-1 inzSmD wbXDd\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Voss has taken aim at his own team, bemoaning a lack of intent in a dispiriting 39-point loss to St Kilda on Saturday night.
