Swans walked through our tackles and we had players pull up in contests. Look at the one per center stats too.Yep, that's not effort. Ill cop a loss to a Sydney on the chin on a good day, but not like that one.
Good teams find a way, we were not even competitive after quarter time.Perfect summation EB👏
Tired and we are not even midway through the season? About 4 or 5 of our blokes haven't had a kick for weeks now, don't know how they got tired...running through the banner?
It was all about effort and lack of..as soon as the Swans locked down on Cripps and Walsh we stopped and lost interest when it got hard. The SCG isn't a big ground but requires contested players who can get their own ball, break tackles and scrap for loose balls. Sure we have injuries but good teams ie Collingwood last season find a way to win and be competitive.
We were the lazy, non competitive bruise free Blues last night and I thought those days were over...
Doesnt help when some of your blokes cant get the ball, wont lay a tackle and bail out of contests either.....those are non negotiables. Can accept losing on lack of talent caused by injuries but losing by lack of effort isnt on.Agree. Seriously though, can we hire an NRL tackling coach? I'm sick of blokes walking through our tackles.
I never want to see Fantasia in the senior team again.I could say the same for Durdin Marchbank Williams but who replaces them next week?
If anyone thinks another a journey out to Ed's place will do the trick. Nuh. These issues go much deeper. And it aint the players.I won't cop that, the first 20 mins was scintillating. That loss was 110% on the players (especially the leaders).
Coaches, footy dept and MC need a rocket ...and an audit of the game plan. Nothing about us has looked convincing and authoritative this year. Moments of brilliance ...when the opposition relax a little, or haven't gotten going yet.
Marchbank and Fantasia can't play again. Playing two short.Durdin, make that 3
Cripps and Walsh have been useless. That's the ball game.From Batman and Robin to Laurel and Hardy in a week. Cant rely on them to shoulder the load every week.
