Interesting how we have played opposition teams that play at their peak for the last three weeks.
Collingwood - motivation obvious I suppose.
Port - Lucky to beat them. I watched their game yesterday against Carlton - they were a different team to the one that played us and were begging for a spanking!!
West Coast - 2008 whipping boy that played their first good game in months to beat us.
Are we just plain unlucky cos other clubs have not had to play these teams at their peak......or is it just us !!?

Re: The opposition lifts against us
I think it is just us. We are out of form for some reason. It hard to know what has happened in 3 weeks since the Hawks game but we are probably travelling as badly as any club in the AFL bar Melbourne at the moment.Bowie Boy wrote:Interesting how we have played opposition teams that play at their peak for the last three weeks.

Under this coach, we accord every opponent too much respect. Therefore we corral and have men behind the ball.
When we go on the attack, we blitz the weaker teams. The better teams have learned to handle that strategy.
Too many people believed the press at the beginning of the season, without considering that our list is just average.
