We're bit depleted. gave a good account of ourselves against the possible flag favorite but we ran out of puff in the end. We've shown we can take on the best and match them, even beat them but in-game consistency is our big issue. Suppose it happens when you're building but it's something for the pre-season big time. We have to be able to close a game down when the other side has momentum. We're 4-6, what could we have been but for that. At the end of round 10 we were equal leaders with Port and Brisbane for qtrs won. Makes the in-game inconsistency stand out more.
Next 2 games we have to win just to show we've made great gains. 6-6 would be a decent outcome.
So much is there ability wise... but there is still something above the shoulders that causes critical lapses then the lack of leadership to change gears.
However, for a side missing key personnel, today's performance was yet another... brace yourself... honourable loss... And aren't we all sick and tired of hearing that!
