We're obviously not playing as well as we can. We didn't against Adelaide or the Gold Coast, either - but if we get the four points, that's all we need to do. Don't forget we have an extensive injury list at the moment.What'sinaname wrote:The only difference is the score's closer.
We're still very shaky up forward and playing no where near the way we were this time last year.

Donny.
It's a game. Enjoy it.

Hi all - I'm back from the 'G, now. That wasn't fun.
When was the last time they had 8 goals kicked against them in the first quarter?
When was the last time I left a match before quarter time? (I do know the answer to that one - it was the 1980 GF.)
Mick obviously gave the boys the first half off this week.

Time to change things up after 1/2 time.
Plant Cloke in the goal square, and get Keeffe off the ground. He's having a shocker today.
Get Taz up forward. The backline surely can't do any worse thta what they currently are.
Good to have Beams back and Fasolo looks brilliant.
Reid is a bit of a barometer of the backline. He's been unsighted today and we've leaked 11 goals in 60 minutes.

The other bad habit today is that we've let Essendon get too many scoring shots in red time. They kicked 3 red time goals in the 1st and had several shots on goal in the 2nd
We've been excellent at running out every qtr this year, but today we seem to be lifting off late.

Can't use injuries as an excuse - Essendon have them just as bad if not worse.
Injuries can't be used an excuse when we let through 8 goals in a quarter of footy. That's just effort and players not being ready for the fight - thinking someone else will do it.
Yes we had a poor patch at the end of last year but that was pretty much after the top spot had been sewn up. I was much more confident going in to the finals last year than I am right now.
We're not playing good footy while other teams apply pressure and press up much better than we do. Even if we go on to win this one I'm not happy about our form at all.
