Re: RD 4 : BLUES Defeated By Demons (Pathetic & Pitiful Post-Match)

I went to the NBs game on my Pat Malone this arvo and was writing a report for everyone on the game before reading through this thread and listening to MMs Media Conference and reading a bit about the game. Plus I didn't get home until late as the NBs game didn't start until 2:30 and I have just over an hours drive to get home. Sorry I didn't get back quick enough for you two. Hope you enjoyed your cheap shots.
There can be no ducking from the fact that this is the worst start to a season in 25 years for our club. It is the worst start to a season in MMs Senior Coach career.
It is almost inconceivable to me that after one of our worst ever efforts (in our modern history), we go to water again the following week when real pressure is applied by a supposedly far inferior opponent. Not since the Pagan days, I think, has this occurred.
MM puts it down to a lack of confidence but I would ask why is there so little resilience? He hinted at perhaps a psychological weakness in this group and I would agree, but how come we're only discovering this now when a good few of us less learned folks on this forum have observed this for a while?
I am astonished but before saying anything else I'd want to watch the replay... though Mrs Baggers has begged me not to, suggesting I must be a masochist!
I did attend the better of the two games though, it would certainly seem. A goal after the siren from a quality recruit, Luke Reynolds, gave the NBs a 3 pt win.
