    Thats right, take your prime mover out of the game by putting him in ruck contests.

    It is the anyone can do anything mentality.

    And we saw it again yesterday. Lobb to the backline???
    We did beat them by 70 points in the prelim.

    How were the coaches that night?

    I feel like we’ve given the league too many decent looks at how to beat us, and we haven’t really thrown anything different at them to keep them honest. They know how to beat us, it’s just a matter of executing.

    It is a valid point. However, we did have the long tenure of both King and Hansen in the coaches box that night.

    You have the wrong question.

    If we were number 1 on the ladder and capable of being well ahead at half time in the grand final?..

    ?How did these three teams defeat us??

    The answer to your question is?

    they were equally bad but didn?t get involved.

    We are too comfortable with ourselves on field during the game.

    We are too comfortable with ourselves off field post season.

    We tinker around the edges, but do we have the hunger and drive to get better?

    When did we last make a significant change to our game style, or fundamentally has it been the same since Bevo came to the club?

    The only two forced off field changes we made from memory are moving on Chris Maple and Jason McCartney.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    Hmm don't agree Danj. Respect though.
