Cripps doesn't look interested

McKay Curnow and TDK all crash into eachother for that marking attempt.
Not a small to be seen once it hits the deck.

That’s our game plan. Get the 3 talls to all contest against each other in a pack for the one ball!! No wonder we are a laughing stock.

You would think 8 years into a rebuild we may have worked that one out but nope. Just keep doing it week in week out.

Further to the half time stats. We kept the gap and closed the gap in all the right areas.
Pressure was up, tackles and 1%ers.
Even our DE% is in front.

Only difference, again, is kicking at goal.

Looks like another loss. We've busted our arses for 3 quarters to no avail. I can see us falling away from here to lose by 20 odd points.

We’ve already lost Hewett for next week’s game against Melbourne given the HIA protocol. Now we have to wait to see if the MRO will suspend Cerra for his tackle on Hickey. At least Hickey got up and played on, so we might dodge a bullet there.

Huge final quarter for the club

[Slowhand]

One quarter to show some ticker. How HUNGRY are we ???

[Micky0]

We kill ourselves.

We are better than Syd. Why aren’t we playing like we are? So damn frustrating.

I think I’ll have to check out of the season if we don’t win today, I said we would be 6 goals.  It’s painful for me to watch now, I feel sorry for them.

They are not dumb they are not unskilled etc etc -
I don’t know wtf is going on but it’s confidence.

As I said in another thread, in these situations it was P Cripps that got us over the line. He can’t do that anymore and we have no one else doing it - but it’s really just not real cohesion.

Oh and not being able to kick a f******* goal!

[pinot]

How badly does this team want it. We will soon find out.
