Still can't believe our season is done, our club is soft and misguided. Credit to Richmond, to bring on 5? new players and have a system all players understand and works is a credit.
Im following Brisbane for the rest of the year, cant take anymore of this shit.
I think this game was done when you went in with 5 changes, and a different structure. Very possibly a case of having to take a step back to go forward though.
I dint think the seasons done but top 4 is looking very hard to achieve.
I've been saying all year this year would be tough for the Demons. When you stick your nose up for the first time in a generation, there's a lot of pressure on the following season. The expectation is completely new.
I still recall the vibe from our players at the 2016 club awards, it was all "we'll get it next year". That's natural but not automatically going to happen.
A bit like us in 2017 your injury list hasn't looked good from the pre-season either. I think a young talented list with a lot if players working hard to develop their bodies is susceptible to wearing injuries, groin soreness and hip problems for example.
I think this is a hiccup on the way up, although you probably won't meet expectations this year. It's still an excellent list and the players will naturally harden up with experience.
