Not sure where we go from here. That was as demoralising a loss as I can remember .., and I remember plenty of them.
Season over without firing a shot.

Re: Humiliation
The issue was workrate
Contested possessions and I50s were relatively even.
Uncontested possessions was as lop sided as you can get
Meaning we were out worked in both offence and defence.
When they had it we didn’t run to defend
When we had it we didn’t run to create
We didn’t run, it was simply work rate (combined with gameplan)

Re: Humiliation
think we just believed in our own hype. expected to win and team was lazy. full of downhill skiers. didn't help that the club and coached inflated the hype. for ratts to suggest we were close to richmond in our final didn't help. he obviously thought praise was needed to push a little self belief. instead we needed a reality check - a lift in work rate was needed. first to the ball, hit and stick tackles, relentless pressure. instead we crumble under pressure. our midfield is soft (bar steele), our forward entries show a lack of tactical nous, our defence is flat footed. we have a large contingent of imports that seem happy to enjoy the good days, but don't bleed when we need them to. our richo brigade similarly lack the hardness to sacrifice the body when the situation calls for it. all well and good to fly when we are in form, but the way we fold when not shows a team without heart. be interesting to see if we can respond next week or we just accept our fate.

Re: Humiliation
Carlton is leading Dockers by 52 pts at the moment.
Do we think that we will beat the Blues, when we meet them, even with Ryder, RoMa, and a fit Jones+Hannas?

A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.
