There's no difference. They we smashings worse than last night. In other words near all good sides have bad losses during a season and most recover. Our issue on here is we just overanalyse one to death for no reason. Essentially it's like the end of the world with one loss, our only loss so far. Worry about it if we don't rebound.
Perspective isn't in the dictionary on this site. Just panic merchants. Premiership sides have been in worse positions than us at this stage. Richmond choked a few weeks in a row in mid 2017, we laughed at them really loudly. Wasn't as if they were that good previous years. They ended up resounding flag winners the same year. Geelong were 5-4 at one stage last year. Richmond's 3 flags they were back in the pack at this stage with shit losses in there. Funniliy enough, the year they did dominate, 2018, they missed the GF. Maybe this time we might get our timing right rather than being out like a shots and blowing up.
