We selected a team to beat Essendon.
Not sure we did that on the weekend.
Sure injury and suspension knocked us around but I think there are times (and games) this year when we'll pick to win if we think we have a chance.
If we don't think we're in with a chance then the emphasis will be on picking for development.
At quarter time I though we were in with a sniff. Unfortunately it unravelled after that with our customary fade out. It's becoming a trend where we stop being competitive in periods and can't quite work out what went wrong.
