Were they in 3rd gear? Rubbish. Cats were all of 9 pts in front with 6-7 min to go. Richmond didn't get on top of us until very late. So lets not go there. It shows we can do it if we apply ourselves. Last year we gave sides all sorts of issues even though we just won the 6 games. 7 of the lsses we led during the last qtr so lets not say we 're not capable, we just don't apply ourselves. That's on the Coach.
Do you really think we're a difficult side to beat? Means little to lead, then lose, other than you can't sustain and/or when the opposition really pours on the desperation we go to water. The Tiggers played us like they play many games, don't pour it on until well into the 3rd. You can't think we were a chance to win that game, to repeat... once they got into gear, we were gone - like many of our games. But as I've mentioned previously, I'm hoping that when we've got more of our list to pick from there may be real reasons for optimism. But not at the moment. There's very little to be excited about at present.
