How you think beating GWS away after the bye is any easier then our last 2 losses is beyond me.
Your correct our 4 wins were against bottom sides but all 4 we should have comfortably accounted for yet all except the dockers were underwhelming wins.
We lost to 4 top teams imo in Melbourne, bulldogs, port and tigers.
The other losses were to teams we should be beating imo if we had improved as we all expected but we failed all those challenges.
Hope your right about us storming home but it’s more wishful thinking then reading our formline so far.
A midfield consisting of Cripps who looks about as unfit as any midfielder I’ve ever seen, a 50 game star In Walsh and then a cooked tagger in Ed so good luck trying to compete with anyone with any confidence when thats your midfield. And remind me all the stars we have waiting on the injury front to help fill those massive holes. We are miles off it.
Time to take off the blue glasses mate.
There is no spark. There’s no hunger to play to the death. We start well but then when things don’t go our way - we kick too many behinds or the oppo get a run on, it almost seems like you can see them say this is too hard and then just play it out and mid speed.
It’s bloody annoying to watch.
We will not win most of our next games, in fact I think we’ll capitulate badly because there’s really now nothing left to play for. Those on contracts are on good $ and not up for renewal and those that are up for renewal well we’re still waiting on. How many times have I heard over the last 6-8 weeks that Cripps is as good as a done deal. Where’s the Farging signed contract then? Where’s McKays? He’s leadinf the Coleman and we’re still farting around.
This team just craps me. I used to love footy and would watch most games every weekend, couldn’t get enough of it and other games mattered because they’d matter to our chances and our place on the ladder. But since they bought in Malthouse And barring that final against Richmond, it’s just been misery. My partner and I rarely watch other games now, our interest has gone snd we know sure as anything that when our season is in our hands, We frigging do nothing about it. Again.
Spare me the stuff about injuries too and let’s be fair dinkum.
Cripps and Doch have gone backwards
Murph should be retired
Curnow is hanging on
Setters fail. O’Brien gone, Dow Probably also.
SPS seems gone
Walsh Harry weiters are literally our only shining lights, maybe Saad and TDK. That’s it. Oh and Eddie but he’s just about finished too in reality. How depressing.
