It has been a tough run for sure but two rucks and three small forwards taking run run away from the middle has been a miserable failure and needs to take ownership. I wont trust the guy with this list if he doesn't.
That's what we had last year when we were killing it. We won 15 from 17 at one stage across the 2 seasons, so can't be too bad. Difference missing Martin, Motlop and Fogarty up forward. Durdin and Fantasia isn't quite the same.
So might be something else. Last night was attitude and effort. Maybe mentally the affect of a 5th consecutive blockbuster with half a side. Dunno. Previous 4 games we went 2-2 against the best with half a side out.
Patiently awaiting for the Voss presser I know he is not going to make excuses but if he props up this game plan then I am going to be concerned that he doesnt know what he is doing - losing 4 of 6 against contenders justifies it.
We lost them all in the same stretch last year, many in embarrassing fashion. after round 13 we beat who we lost too.
Wasn't expecting miracles with what was 5 consecutive blockbusters but of the first 4 we won two and pissed 2 others down the drain narrowly with half a side out. Highly competitive against contenders even with the injuries. Tonight, we mentally fell apart and gave up. Tonight was terrible in effort. Injuries are no excuse for a lack of effort.
I think we gave that one up pretty easily tonight. Mentally it has been a tough 5 weeks trying to beat the best week in, week out with half the side out. Not to mention some blokes that are in still underdone. Tonight, we mentally crashed.
Wish we got the draw against the Pies. 2 1/2 out of 5 in that hard run, given the circumstances, would have been more than acceptable.
Bar the first 15 min we haven't had a crack at all. Like with the injuries we had conceded before then start and gave up. Disappointing. Disgraceful attitude!
Durdin and Fantasia last 2 weeks ago. 4 touches between them. Sub Durdin off. Put anyone there, they'd have to be better. Put one of us CSC members there even, would still end up better. Who's volunteering?...lol.
