Pre game Postulations Round 16 Carlton vs Sydney at Metricon.

[Lods]

We look physically and mentally fatigued, even drained,  from what I can see, with very little energy left to show full commitment and the will to win - a mental thing. Listening to Hodge's analysis during the game, we seemed to be showing poor awareness to situations and making pretty fundamental errors, especially at crucial times in defence which cost us goals. Seems like most of the team would rather be somewhere else.

In all fairness I have seen it in other teams too, but it seems to be really getting to us now.

I think that's the key. It's not just happening to our team. The bizarre nature of the season is affecting all teams at different stages.
As teams chances of making finals disappear we're likely to see more capitulations, some quite dramatic.
Players will just want it to be over.
Some have already switched off.
For many there will be real concerns about their playing future.
You can condemn that attitude as unprofessional...but these are unprecedented times
