Maybe Blessed is Luke Ball.
You wouldn't expect anything else to come out of Luke Ball, he's the type of player that demands high intensity and attack on the ball, and he hates losing, more so then just about anyone else.
The problem with such a lackluster effort against the Dees last night is we may over react and play too hard next week, when the season is still 3 weeks away (from next Friday Night).
No need to throw the baby out with the bath water yet.

Well Ball does have a point as that Intestinty can creep into early in the Season Proper but also don't need to go over the top next week but needs to be Lifted
Round 1 will be the acid test.
On one hand you can understand saving yourself through the NAB Cup, especially in light of last year when we appeared to run out of legs at the business end ( though also injuries/suspensions took their toll as well )
But, as Luke Ball ( and Blessed ) have been pointing out it's also about habits and being instinctive and it's not unreasonable IMO to say our intensity last year was not at the same level as 2010.
If we play at 100% intensity we'd be very hard to beat, but if not, we may well be quickly caught by the rest of the field.

HEY MAGPIE ARMY!
I was pretty disappointed in last night.
They really looked like they didn't give a shit. At least most of them anyway.

Meh, he has to say something. Hardly a revelation.

Understandable. I don't want anyone up and about at 100% in the pre-season, high intensity leads to a higher likelihood of injury - and we've already got enough of them.
Maybe Blessed is Luke Ball.
He can't be, Ball talked up Tom Young!
Certainly agree that the team has to take the games seriously. I thought it was down to having kids in the side more than anything else, but it doesn't look lik eit. I think the following 2 games we'll see a different Collingwood side.
