Yeah but this wasn't a slip up.I'm suggesting that for one reason or another most teams have slip ups during a season, no matter how good they are.
Having seen the way this team generally bounces back from poor performances under Lyon I'm prepared to write this game off as an inexplicable aberration at this stage.
Geelong almost had a slip up. Port too. But both had senior players that pulled them over the line.
Freo were comprehensively smashed. Not only that, when they had a chance to reverse the trend, they got even more comprehensively smashed. The 3rd quarter stats differential was quite amazing for any game let alone 18th against 2nd. With a bit more polish we'd have put up 10 goals in a quarter! We've been struggling to do that in most games.
Something more than apathy was on display.
