Rd 11: Blues have the Bye

[cookie2]

We have been playing some good football, punctuated with some of the worst clangers to be seen at AFL level. We haven't been far off it, without being able to beat too many teams. Some of our guys looked like they NEEDED the Bye to come along. Now that it is here, hopefully we can get some use from it, now it has arrived.

Last year we did not win a single game after the Bye, even though we scared a LOT of teams. We were very ordinary after the Bye the year before. However, in both of those campaigns we had SERIOUS injury issues. By the end of last year we barely had enough fit players to make up a team for the last round. This year we have a list in much better condition.

Despite our fade outs yesterday, I came away from the game, sharing the view of many around me, that we are tantalisingly close to a break out. We do need more focus and poise together with the collective tank to keep going for 4 qtrs but we are getting there for sure. Hopefully we can really play out the rest of the season strongly this year.
