I can see where you are coming from but I don't necessarily agree with you. As we seen on the weekend with the Pies and the Dogs, it's pretty easy for teams to make each other look bad. We just let this one slip at the eleventh hour. The response from the playing group this week will really show how affected they are by the loss as well as their faith in the coaches, this will speak the truth on the clubs unity more than anything. Hopefully this is the game that turns us around as a club, win or lose.
But as supporters we have a duty of loyalty to back the club in, especially with what we have been through and the 'real' stage we are at in our rebuild. And not to be the cause or the reason the media gets to rip shreds off us, deserved or not. Otherwise instead of us having a good development year we will have to start this process again next year with someone new, a new game plan for the players to learn (the ones that stay) and not to mention not being able to attract top talent due to the instability we've created, again.
I don't think that this applies to us as usually this type of statement is made towards players that are not really putting in maximum effort. i,e Essendon**, Melbourne, Adelaide this season.
Does anyone believe that our players are not putting in maximum effort?
Effort has always been there, just not at the right level. i.e. Today, this was the response I was talking about. If anyone has doubts on the players playing for Bolton, then surely today proves otherwise. There were a few players that had their break out game today. Gotta love SPS, McKay and Gibbons game today.
