The truth is;
Like today we just can’t play 4 quarters. It’s very rare if we do. We’ve proven that time and time again.
Also, like today, we waste so many opportunities i50 when we are dominating and can’t take advantage of our momentum’s. Teams know if they put numbers back and hold us , we will crumble soon and they will take their chances.
When our midfield is dominated, we don’t have the tools to defend and the flood gates open. Hence why teams can score successive quick goals. This happened in the 2nd half today and with Pittonet being absolutely smashed, SoS taken out of the game, it was only a matter of time.
Looks like SOS has become so valuable to us back there in 10 games, it’s laughable. TdK might be the 2nd most important player to us now. This is a real concern.
Lastly, we don’t play for each other. As a team we don’t have enough mongrel, and we don’t protect each other. So many teams know we are mentally weak and they can easily put us off our game. You see other teams beating us up, yapping at us and even bullying us. It’s become that obvious.
I just don’t understand how they can keep holding their heads high, thinking they’re good at what they do.
That's a tough assessment but sadly I agree. That game felt lost more above the shoulders than anything. Which is terrible because we showed we're capable of really digging in against Geelong & St K.
These players need to understand you have to do it every week!! We are simply not hard nosed & uncompromising, 100% of the time, like the top teams from over the years.
