Finally watched the game, without the emotion. Was expecting general play worse than it was, the pies did punish us bad when we did stuff up. I think there is definetly something else wrong besides not having enough good players. No idea whether its game plan, work ethic , introverts, hardness or all of the above( probably is).
White was really good, Tuohy was much much better, liked Docherty, Buckley, Caz,
Murphy worked hard , not sure about all the things people make up about him sometimes. Robbo too, and is now looking down before he kicks .
No idea what the answer is .
we matched the pies in possessions
Our tackling and contested ball were the lowest for the year - were you happy with those basic stats?
If they can do the basics against the Bulldogs, they can repeat them EVERY @#$%&! WEEK - win, lose or draw.
But then again we dont have the honest leadership group that would demand this minimum standard. They tolerate mediocrity, so whatever talent they have as a team, becomes irrelevant.
I have been saying for some years now, the areas they need to show attention to each week both during the week at training and during games.
This isnt to say that every player has this attitude, they dont, but if even a small group of players has this attitude to their chosen sport, the team will more than often lose the game, before they enter the arena.
personally I became sick of it during the 2012 season when they reverted back to their old ways (I really thought they turned the corner in 2011 but I was suckered in again. I dont trust them)
