The solution to last Thursday was Saturday night. Keep running forward, keep moving forward,  don't go in your shell when you make mistakes, trust your team mates will keep having a go, and try and kick and handball the ball to your team mates, and finally,  don't give up.

Do you genuinely think the AFL team aren't trying to do this?

Can I also say I was quite negative at the start of the match as Can be seen in my comments about the Camporeale brothers, but the team won me over by the end of the night. I am quite bullish by the young guys we have on our list, Motlop and younger, we just have to establish a culture of winning in the Club.

The club does.

Do you really think our MC put blokes out there who aren't trying, the MC's job depends on them.

Whether they are capable or not has little relevance to how hard they are trying, I'm arguing the assertion that they aren't making an effort is bullsh1t, in fact it's an insult!

Someone like Evans tries just as hard if not harder in the AFL, he wants the gig desperately, but he is competing against a whole other level of opponent.

Do you really think our MC put blokes out there who are not 100% fit, the MC's job depends on them.
....and thats why some will be looking for a new job.

Unfit players play all the time, everyone knows it. The MC will always say they are 100% fit though. Its BS.
So 'trying' can be limited by how fit they are and how much they can get from 'trying'.

Sometimes the trying the players are doing is trying not to throw up because they are so sick and under the weather. Looking at Patrick "Mr Quarantine" Cripps as our most recent example.
