On paper, our team is better across every line. This is beyond doubt IMO. Whether that translates to what should be a good win is another matter entirely.

Our problems are so clearly linked to execution that it must be beyond demoralising for the coaching staff, for all but those 120 mins we look the goods, and often for even 100 of those 120 minutes we look the goods.

But those 10 or 20 minutes in total each week of missed set shots, poor disposal skills and bad decision making are killing our season.
The Force Awakens!

The bye came at 150% the wrong time for us, I will be staggered (but at the same time pleasantly surprised) if we break the trend and win post bye which is a shame because this should be a game we tick off as a win.

There is a bit in the media about teams coming off a bye and losing. Excluding teams that played other teams coming off a bye, all but one of the teams that lost also travelled interstate. We just need to come out and play tough consistent footy.

Saw a little bit of the Dawks game v GC and have to say I'm a wee little bit more confident than I was last week. Dawks just seemed to be trying to minimise the damage. Played Will Day behind the ball for the entire 2nd quarter?? Strange tactics with one of their major ball winners. Didn't see how it went after halftime but wasn't a lot that I saw to cause concern.

Agree but we have been shooting ourselves on the foot all season. We let teams win and its been a demoralising season so far but still in it. Need Cunners and Jack Martin in good form and playing well.

The 'bye' is a bit of 'boogeyman'.
It will be a test of mental toughness...It's not like they won't be aware of the stats regarding wins after byes.
I reckon they can overcome it and win easily.
If not...it's eyes on 2024

Agree, we struggle against sides above us and although Haw is just below us, we MUST win these games post bye or not.

A must win game for the coach in particular imho, dont care what the CEO says about Voss being safe for 2024 but if we lose vs Hawthorn then Voss will be back in the firing line with two tough games coming up.

Just to clarify, apparently Pittonet is out injured, not dropped.

Wonder what Paddy Dow did wrong last week...?

Cincotta, Kennedy and Owies on  the  bench plus probably Hewitt. Binns to play his first game.
I hope they are explaining to Dow what is going on because I have absolutely no idea. We finally had a team with a bit of pace and we had a good result. Now it seems we are going back to business as usual which hasn't been all that good. I hope I am wrong but I have grave concerns about this.
