I've deliberately waited a while to post in this thread.
About half way through the 3rd quarter my daughter asked me to play Monopoly (she's just started migrating to "real" Monopoly from Monopoly Junior). I said yes, turned the TV off, and found myself enjoying playing Monopoly with my daughter more than I watching us play on Saturday.
We looked like a dumb team in the wet, as per usual. People point to last quarter fade outs as a long standing issue. I'd say our inability to adapt to wet weather is an issue that has reared it's head more often and for a longer period. You don't play cute in wet weather, we try to way too often.
Collingwood's pressure for every minute I watched was phenomenal. By going sideways, trying the perfect pass, trying to handball our way out of trouble, all the while with a greasy ball, played right into their hands. It's almost like we don't train in the wet nor do we train for wet weather situations.
Anyway, if you had've asked my before round 1 if I'd be happy to be 2-2 I would've said yes. I guess I need to focus on that moreso than be annoyed at being 3-1 and just hope the lads learned from the weekend, they get some drive back, and they punish the Saints on Sunday.
