The players have a history of not taking initiative, bringing conditional effort and being lazy without the football so I just assume it's largely a player issue. But you might be right, I don't know.
Look at the positives - today might finally put this year to bed once and for all.

Unfortunately you don’t get to play on Zaine Cordy every week.
And recruiting players based on how they go against us didn’t work out too well with the acquisition of O’Brien.

They've even had the luxury of being able to leave him forward with no ruck work. Logue has picked up the part time chop out's for Sean Darcy.

The good news might be that our prime movers in Bontempelli, Liberatore and Macrae haven't hit their standard yet and a goal or two by Bruce might spark us as well.
Do you honestly believe Bruce can hit the scoreboard? He hasn’t looked likely in 14 quarters so far and I can’t honestly see how he can win the ball.

There's just no in-game adjustment. Our leaders are pathetic.
Bont streamed down the wing, Weightman and Naughton worked their arse off to present, he took two too many bounces stuffed it up and then yelled at the leading players.
That's the leadership I'm seeing.

We need to sub him out with a headache and bring on Toby
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

He looks like he's never played footy before. Darcy better.

Get Treloar in the middle. He's a player who can swing momentum. Playing an AA midfielder as a half back for weeks on end is *!*!*!*!ing stupid.

To be fair, he'd run 70 odd metres, and Naughton expected him to smash a 60 metre pass over the top of the defender? Naughts should've presented to Bont not turned back.

I would have dropped him the week after he returned to the seniors but I do believe if he somehow bagged a couple it would olift a lot of his team mates. Apparently having Bruce in the side makes Marra a far better player.

I’m assuming GG saw it live and the TV coverage didn’t show the lead up.
More of an In Bruges guy?

Naughton was running away from him and should have presented multiple times in that instance.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

He and Weightman worked perfectly into the space, Bont took too many bounces and screwed it.

Just a diabolical performance. Some bastard needs to show some passion in the rooms to fire these blokes up for the second half. They are sleep walking for Chrissakes!!

it’s only the most important game of the year because we played like garbage all year. Good teams don’t turn home and away games into the “game of the year”.
