I think we dropped our bundle during the GWS game mostly because we thought we’d done enough. Basically, we bought into the hype.
And then we rationalised it away because we were still 2nd with a buffer. And then we were still 2nd even though we’d lost the buffer. And, you know, we will just flick the switch when we really need to. And then we ‘should’ have beaten the dogs and whilst we scraped in against North, well, they’d been playing good footy.
And we can just flick the switch when we need to…

I sincerely hope that the whole team is laser focused on what happened in the first half against Brisbane. That pretty much encapsulates most of what our deficiencies are: game plan, on field performance, injuries/player mgt, selection, messaging, cohesion, psychology… everything!

As John Howard famously noted, you can’t fatten a pig on market day!

(I would also note that elite sportsmen should not muck around with other ball sports on game day! #mcGrath #Curnow)

We dropped our bundle in the Giants game because
Charlie rolled his ankle pregame
TDK copping a knock spending most of the 2nd quarter on the bench
Weiters copping corky in 1st and didn't return until late in the 2nd and played game out sore
McGovern spending most of the 2nd quarter and part of the 3rd in the rooms being treated.

When they all got back on the park in the last we came home strong to only lose by 2 goals.

You can't have that much talent injured and sitting on the pine and expect to beat a top 4 side.
We out scored them 13 goals to 4 when they were all on the paddock

We got out scored 14 goals to 3 when they were mostly off field
