Is this a so called increased running block?

Post: # 1961030Post CURLY »

Good teams often have blocks in the middle of seasons when they struggle. Often it’s because of an increase in their training program. Is this we’re we are at right now? This new fitness guy has very solid credentials.

We looked well off the pace as we are not as bad as tonight’s performance.

FFS the club of excuses

Club has made no excuses. I’m asking the question.

Find another question - I’ve got one
“Could this be because the club has failed to play a 4 quarter game all year - instead we insist on showing up for a quarter here or there even in our wins??” Discuss.

Maybe only against Hawks .... but yes we have scraped through some games and have hardly been dominant ... 10 or 20 min burst here and there ... just enough to pull through

Let's face it we are middling team and every team knows they have a chance against us as we struggle to put it all together

Why would they have increased training loads after a game where they were down 2 rotations?

More like they had an attitude adjustment and took the opposition too lightly and paid the price.

Disgusting and insipid effort.

How could Ratten say he and coaches didn’t see it coming?
We were smashed by them last year the script was well known and we’ve been their bunnies for a while
How can you have a playing not switched on in a prime time game celebrating a club great?
Coach hasn’t got a spray in him and continues to play the same blokes time and again ….and we’ll give him 2-3 more years cause he’s had a light first half of the season and won some games off 1 quarter efforts - when was the last time we saw this side play 4 consistent quarters?
Ratten will probably play a Sharman now….it’ll be a wet soggy SCG and a week later …back to Butler
Same old
