When we start the game strongly...we seem to give up and get beaten.
When we start badly ...we roll the opposition.
Go figure eh???
I don't think we have played 4 quarters for about 4 years.
We just seem to have way too many mentally fragile players.
We need to play bad first quarters...

Re: We need to play bad first quarters...
No, good starts have nothing to do with this. We just need to learn to play 4 quarters of footy once in a while.saintsRrising wrote:When we start the game strongly...we seem to give up and get beaten.

We might have 120% rather than 101% if we did and some chance at a higher ladder position and have some respect from other top teams.
I think oppo teams might always fancy their chances against us now. In finals they will tend to be switched on more consistently so dont expect teams like Hawthorn to just stop applying pressure like last week.
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
