    I don't think we've hit any great heights all year.

    We get some false dawns, then reality.

    We led 3-6 goals vs GCS, SYD, GWS, PORT & HAWKS. Then lost them ALL.

    That’s shithouse and unacceptable. Win these games from winning positions and I think we’d be feeling a bit better about this fragile, untrustworthy playing group and coach.

    I did a ladder predictor. If all goes to plan, we will sit 8th going into last round.
    Win we should make 8
    Lose, we will probably still be in the 8 after our game.

    However, all it takes is syd to beat Melb OR gws to beat Carlton and we are out.

    We have to beat WC first ofcourse
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    Our players as a group are mentally weak. Have been since 2016.

    This has been the story of the season. It is the good old fashioned thing you learn when you start playing this game in Under 10s. It is a four quarter game boys. We need a consistent effort and not let up for the entire game. Don't drop the intensity for a quarter and all the other cliches.

    We just lack the ability to concentrate and put in a sustained effort for four quarters. It is just absolute basics. You can blame the coaches. You can blame lots of things. But the players have been in winning positions for almost every single game after round #2 and we have just not got the job done. Simple as that.

    We have not lost a single game by more than 22 points since round #2. We have been in every single game. There is a lot of positives in that. There is a lot of negatives in that when you consider how many games we have dropped where we have had leads.

    If you spend the first two days only just missing your putts, you still don’t get to make the cut.

    Not being super shit isn’t much of a silver lining to me, when that wraps around choking/losing from the front all year.

    Yes. Not disputing any of that. Probably my point. We are good enough, we just can't hold the three foot puts when we need to. Drive for show. Putt for dough.
