Uncompetitive performance? Get a grip, We lost by 3 points!
Are we a bit over reliant on key players and did we have a few of those players down on form, yep absolutely. We can’t expect them to be at their peak every week.
Collingwood lost to the same team by more the previous week, and at a less hostile venue.
I hate losing too but sometimes a bit of perspective is useful.
I guess perspective takes different forms.
You could also say:
- Collingwood don’t need to win
- Our season was on the line
The 3rd quarter when we needed to go with the wind was the definition of non competitive.
