Rd 11: Blues have the Bye

[Thryleon]

I know and I understand that, but Im worried that it becomes a bit confidence sapping to not get the reward for effort.

It will expose those players who are not up to it in the long term, and hopefully we have a way to manage our players through such difficulty, but it worries me that too many games without winning may see players starting to lose focus and belief in what they are doing.

Thats when they can drop off, or worse, want out.

But we did.  We put in no effort in the first quarter and a bit and lost - our just reward.  Footy is a 4 quarter game.  We aren't quite fit and strong enough to do this yet.
