At what point does ‘bad form’ become reality

Post: # 1727600Post MC Gusto »

Seriously? How long can we keep saying we have a bunch of players out of form and we should be better? I feel like that window is is fast closing and if something doesn’t change then our ‘form’ is actually just the reality of our list’s capability... and we are fkn putrid.

We are certainly the worst team in the league at the moment.

Agree with this sentiment...I really really hope some promising careers aren’t totally ruined by this year. Guys like billings, Gresham, membrey, mccartin...there is a real risk that I’ve ir more if these guys may develop serious long term repercussions in a footy sense from this year...fingers crossed they don’t!!

Seven weeks ago.

This is the new normal.

You obviously haven’t seen too many Carlton, Essendon, Brisbane or Gold Coast games this year. We are not going well, but not the worst team in the comp.

essendon are as deporable as us, carlton similar, but brisbane have been getting better each week, and the Suns have three wins despite not having played a real home game, so most unfair on them to lump them in with us.

I have and trust me they are better

Also we have the lowest % in the league so regardless of our 1 win 1 draw keeping us just above last we are in fact the worst team

Granted the Suns have had a tough start with travel, but they were horrid in the second half against the dees.
Collingwood kicked 5.15 including 1.6 in the first half yesterday.
Carlton and Essendon are very ordinary.
Brisbane try hard, but we beat them despite playing just as badly as we are now.
The dogs look better than they are because of their draw, they have beaten the bombers, Carlton, Gold Coast and Brisbane.

Yes we are playing ordinary footy, but I think we are definitely not alone. It isn’t going to take much to turn our season around, starting with a big win against the pies this week.

Disagree with the OP. The problem is Richo. Massive disconnect and sfa chemistry between coach and players. No unity, no cohesive trust and they’re playing like it.
