My pet hate is supporters accusing players of not trying.
Of course they're trying - these guys are pretty proud and their reputations (and possibly careers) are on the line.
SEN interviewed the Collingwood fitness guy this afternoon regarding the use of GPS and heart monitors. He said that the data showed that the Collingwood players ran as hard in the Brisbane thrashing than they have in any other game.
Lots of things went wrong for them but the effort was as high as it ever is.
I do remember Eade saying after the Sydney loss that the GPS data told them that some guys hadn't worked as hard as they otherwise might have but I think the Collingwood example shows that there's other, more important factors than simply effort.
