Tonight really looks like 5th v 10th.
They're fresh, we're cooked. Can always make a scoreboard look worse. Wildcard did it's job and the benefit of finishing top 6. Come in fresh after a break, while the wildcard sides are non-stop after the end of a hard home and way season, Shown the same in the 3 years it's been in the VFL with only one wildcard side winning the EF and the average loss being 10 goals. In most cases the EF's was contested still between sides 5th to 8th but the margins have been much bigger.

That's how it should be too. A big reward for being top 6.
so our boys coughed up a lead, in the wet and this time its not about mentality?

Nothing wrong with Fraser's system IMO, rain or otherwise . However, once we ran out of puff, players stopped running, stopped leading, forced to go back to the big kick down ground or into the forward line.........then no chance

Proof is in the pudding. Hawthorn game, now this.

Not real convinced. We went alright early in this game. This is about running running out of legs. Rain made that look worse. As I said, people who went to watch training said we looked, flat, banged up and sore. Two separate people said the said thing. Thought we were going to be in trouble after that. Been a long, tough but fun ride since round 10.

Hawthorn game we looked "due" after that "ripping" 2pt win over Richmond.
