I'm not buying our list is so shit we can't make the eight or even the top 6. We have always been inconsistent, we've always taken 2 steps forward and one step back with our bunch of pretty introverts. But when games mattered we turned up and we played with heart.

That bit is so not true.
How many times have we collapsed when playing for something?
Last year we were playing for top spot and folded.
When we played to stay in the eight we folded.
When we played to get back in the eight we folded.
The Freo game playing to stay in touch? Folded.
I would say we don't turn up for those big games and is a poor reflection on the leadership group and the playing group as a whole.
