There is still time to grow some balls. We saw Brisbane turn it around and win a flag after we flogged them in 2001. I think we need to stop bagging our guys and let them know what we expect from them. A hard, uncompromising, team-oriented effort.
One word, Ruthless.
Always been my favourite word for our football club... now for our group to get that word into their blood stream.
Baggers our teams of old had this word in their the blood stream. They went out week in week out and were Ruthless in their approach. You knew you played against us. They didn't win every single game but the Ruthless attitude against your opposition WAS not negotiable in days gone by. Hawthorn, Geelong and Sydney believe in being Ruthless week in week out and it is non negotiable. Watch them run out, you can see it in their eyes, its a look. I salivate at the thought of our blokes being Ruthless week in week out. It wouldn't matter to me one bit if they lost a game so long as everyone to man can look at each other in the eye and honestly say "I was Ruthless today for 120 mins".
