a couple of lucky wins hid the truth we are a poor team with a pathetic / easy to read game plan .I have said this many many times ,once a team start running quick ball movement and we cant match this game over .How many games over the years have we watched opposition stroll in for easy goals .So up to our coaches to change this for 2021.
Why were they lucky wins? If we lose we're no good if we win we're lucky. Under Teague we are 10-10 and generally improving alot. Before then it was 1-11, 2-20. Must've been 10 lucky wins. Shit, wish I had that luck at lotto.
We are up and coming hence bad losses like last night are going to happen as are the brilliant wins against Geelong, at Geelong and the Dogs. Actually, 2 days ago, we were a 1pts loss against Melbourne and a kick after the siren from equal top. Wouldn't have been a true reflection of course but shows we have come on. Last night shows we have alot we have to work on with our consistency and other aspects but it's alot better than it was. Welcome to the world of supporting an up and coming side. As much as everyone wants it to happen overnight, funnily enough it won't.
Agree we have improved
Agree young teams are inconsistent
The question is how high is the ceiling of improvement
There is a % of the answer to that question with the Ol’ crystal ball
However the footy world doesn’t wait for anyone and if you overrate your list your in trouble
The future isn’t Simpson Murphy or Betts so replace them
If SPS and Cunningham are any good then play them up the ground for a month
Teague needs to stop playing the safe selection and positional card and start finding some answers
Forget about finals in a Micky Mouse season so take some selection changes
