REDLAND Bombers were their own worst enemy when they were thumped by 120 points by Mt Gravatt at Dittmer Park last weekend in the AFLQ Velocity Sports Cup.

Faced with a horror draw to finish off the season by meeting the highly ranked reigning premiers the Vultures, then Southport on the Gold Coast this Saturday, and the Suncoast Lions at the Gabba, the Bombers can ill afford to inflict such damage on themselves.

Redland's courage and commitment could not be questioned last weekend, but their footpassing was atrocious, according to coach Matthew Francis.

"They (the Redland players) didn't miss a beat on the training track for skills, but put under pressure at Mt Gravatt and they went to water," he said.

"The only difference between the teams was the skills – they could kick the ball onto a 10 cent piece and we couldn't put it on a 40 metre tarpaulin."

Francis vowed to work on the skills all week, starting with a two-hour session last Sunday and at three more training runs during the week.

"We're putting the players under pressure to hit targets. We just need to put in hours on our kicking," Francis said.

"We have to be more competitive in this competition. The skill level was reserve grade standard and that's embarrassing.

"We're putting in some hours, and the boys are happy to do that.

"That is the good thing - they're all good young kids with a great attitude," he said.

The Bombers were within striking distance of the top placed Mt Gravatt halfway through the second quarter, before some poor turnovers saw the home side blast six goals in nine minutes before halftime.

Former Brisbane Lions player Darryl White went berserk with 10 goals as the Vultures eventually won 25.24.174 to 7.12.54.

Francis was full of praise for young co-captain Adam Mueller and teenage Gold Coast AFL side recruit Charlie Dixon for their efforts.

"Mueller was terrific and Dixon is only half fit but he just wanted the ball," Francis said.

Justin Myers tried desperately hard to lift his side throughout the game and was the architect of several good passages of play, but they were rare in the second half.
