How far have we fallen. Do you think the Carlton teams of the 80s would have that attitude. Not a chance!
Successful organisations are ruthless al the time and they don’t need to find a reason to complete.
Remember the night Clarkson flooded the defence to prevent Fev kicking his 100 all while they were pumping us. Did he need to do that - could have easily been a good bloke and allowed an easy goal. I hated him at the time and thought what a pr1ck but now know they are the sort of traits the best team have while the bottom team like to be he nice guys that pick and choose when to go at 100% and make excuses when they get belted.
Hawthorn coincidentally are also the most successful club in the last 30 years. We need to stop making excuses for crap performances unless we want to stay where we have been in the least 10 years.
In 1995 we lost to sydney and st Kilda two weeks running when they were sitting at the foot of the ladder.
These things happen. We pummeled everyone but them that season.
