It's because we play like s* at home. I think I was 4-6.I went to 11 games this year and had a 3-8 record.
Wins in Rd 1, then a grind vs North who hadn’t won a game, and a last second win against Carlton.
Read the OP. MC was talking about capitulation, as if losing to Freo like we did means we were destined to end the season badly. It wasn't that game. Every team is allowed an off day, particularly when you've got Jayden Hunt giving up 20cm to the full forward with May and Petty injured midway through. It was all the games after, the inability to bounce back, not the one game.

Oh yah didn't Richmond lose by 100 points to saints in one of the flag years? In a 23 round season you can have off days as they long as the pattern isn't repeated.
Should go back to 2020 match length.In front for 71% of time in matches this year, #1 in the comp.
Better late than never i guess. On the other hand that he has only just realized that now is a bit worrying .
I sincerely doubt that is the case. More likely that it's difficult and risky to make wholesale changes to the gameplan mid-season. Geelong didn't overhaul their gameplan until 2021 was done.
Not enough rucks and inside mids to execute?
This is probably true, but when it was so blatantly failing over and over again why not risk it? There was never a world we won 3 games in September playing this way
I think that's easy to say in hindsight but it's not like we were scraping into the 8, we finished top 2 and were in both finals up to our eyeballs in the last quarter. A bit of luck in either game and we make a prelim, then who knows? Don't blame the coaches that much for finishing the season steady as she goes. Will be mad if we roll out the same crap next year though.
We scraped into the 4 though, picketts freak goal aside we finish 5th and possibly lose an elimination final. 6-8 back end of the season and the worst record against the other top 8 sides of all finalists I think. It wasn't sustainable. While we were a live chance I wasn't gonna pack it in but we lost to Fremantle, Sydney X2 Collingwood X2 Brisbane and the Bulldogs in exactly the same bloody way mate. It was probably stupid any of us thought we could.
Anywhere I can see this?
Dressed like Dexter Morgan on killing night.
From kick out bomb it long to Gawn on the wing, then bomb it long into the pocket. Repeat.
