JLT Game 2

[laj]

I take that on board Jim, but as I posted before, my main worry is the reported lack of effort/intensity during the two games so far. I would feel a hell of a lot better if we had shown this even if we had made errors and lost the games. Maybe there are good explanations for this approach, but IMO it perpetuates our losing culture which we desperately need to fix. However, as the article states, we don't know the true inside info as to what BB and his guys are up to.

I'm old enough to watch years of bloody awful practice match form only for us to win flags. Remember when David Parkin first coached us in 1981. We produced 3 of the most horrible practice matches leading up to that season to the point he was worried. A player told him not to worry about that as it's normal, it'll all change round 1. It sure did. I know we're not exactly the super side we were then, to be stating the obvious, but it does tell us not to take pre-season form seriously. From memory, didn't we lose by 100pts to Essendon pre-season in 1995?
