Far more reasons to be not too concerned. Lets look at our situation.
We will finish on top
I believe we are a team that unfortunately still lack mental strength and psych ourselves up to perform better against top teams than lower sides which we expect to just go out and beat.
That's why I think we've slipped and been beaten by 2 teams we should have won against.
Also add to that the fact that in their heads they would have known these last couple of games are as good as dead rubbers as we finish now on top regardless.
I'm not saying they deliberately didn't try I'm just saying with the mental intensity of the game today any slight lapse in focus or hunger can have you under the hammer very easily.
Then let's not forget our other good fortune. Injuries. We're about to go into the finals in very good shape.
So IMO I truly expect (regardless of this last game) at the start the finals for them to hit the reset button and be mentally psyched and charged up applying the same intensity as the beginning of this season.
My view on where we're at.

Some points well made.

Re: My view on where we're at.
What? You're kidding? Based on what? How can a team that lacks mental strength do what only three other sides have done in the entire history of the competition?Winmar7Fan wrote:I believe we are a team that unfortunately still lack mental strength
Still waiting for closure ... if you get my drift.
