Whilst I enjoy reading the more optimistic of posters on here and am usually with you or at least wanting to be, the reality is that every single game we’ve been in front we all have that sinking feeling that we will be let down, again. And it did happen today, again.
We just don’t seem to have those players - bar Cripps- that stand up and demand a win for us because damnit we are playing for finals we will do everything we can to make it. The fourth quarter today was so depressing to watch because we knew how it would go and it did. On multiple occasions I saw our players not putting pressure on! All they had to do was play their guts out for another 25 minutes, put every ounce of themselves into that last 25 minutes to get the win and keep us in finals contention, but nope they didn’t. Cripps did. Harry did but was so exhausted from running up the ground that he then didn’t have the energy left to do what he is there for - kick goals. How often did they just bounce right out of our F50, again and again! Who is there putting pressure on.
These are players who must stand up - Doch - especially! He’s the captain! Setters, so over watching him jog along and not apply pressure! Then there’s Fogarty, owies, stuff all from them.
It’s so frustrating watching this team because we do well in a big patch then just get annihilated and give up!
