Young Gold Coast leader Touk Miller has admitted Monday’s review on the SUNS’ round ten match was difficult to watch.
"Our effort in the third quarter and last quarter was lacking,” he told the media on Tuesday
"We didn't show up when the game was on the line, which was really disappointing.
"We were a bit rattled that it blew out to 35 points, it probably stumped us a bit.
"It reflects what our season's been like, we've been really good and then we've been really bad."
Following the defeat Eade highlighted that sometimes his message wasn't sinking in, to which Miller agreed.
"I guess that's what baffles him the most … we seem to play really good football, the weekend being a good example, and then we just let it slip," Miller said.
"It's that 10 per cent that doesn't sink in, and we might miss a few structural things or we're not able to adapt to a game quick enough.
"That's what's costing us.
"It's something we have to learn and we have to learn quicker than we have been."
In a very honest press conference on Tuesday, Miller said the team knew they had to be more proactive, rather than waiting for breaks in play to address the problems.
"The fact we're so inconsistent is what's rattling us at the moment," he said.
"You go from a 100-point loss to a win over a top-four team, (it) baffles everyone.
"That's something we're trying to bridge.”
