Fatigue causes a loss of intensity and that can make players appear blasé, but it's impossible to play eight consecutive quarters of berserk football like we did starting with Freo a week earlier, and opponents know that.
FWIW, many specialist media commentators have been saying as much about Freo's game plan, they assert it's unsustainable.
We need to find a way to curtail the opposition run on and stay in games when we aren't ready to go berserk!
It's even worse when we waste opportunities. Fans blame the missed shots as the reason for the loss, but I'd assert while the misses do not help it can also be the unending ongoing high intensity that is actually causing those missed opportunities.
We might have looked relaxed, but it's more likely we were fatigued and as a result sluggish.
