One word: "FLATNESS"

[Bloben]

There is an outbreak of flatness at the Lexus Center.

We had everything to play for today and should have destroyed Essendon. We should have also destroyed Carlton and North twice but failed.

I'm not sure why some days the entire team seem to stroll out for a game like it was some form of Sunday arvo kick to kick with mates when they should be playing like a group of well paid professionals.

I am convinced now that there seems to be some major psychological issues with our club. I'm not sure how we are going to turn this slump around but we can kiss goodbye to the top 4 and if this flatness continues we won't deserve to even make finals.

In simple terms - as a proud club we should not accept performances such as that. I have never called for Mick to be sacked but if this sort of performance continues he should feel some serious pressure.

agreed.. well.. sort of.. i agree with the part about mick...
they boys are highly paid athletes... these boys have arguably the best facilities in the afl.. how the hell does a whole team come out flat? not one time but on several occasions this year.... if i were mick id be grabbing these bopys by the thraot at half time and telling them to get off their arses and play like the want to win t the game...

afters todays performance i would like eddie to come out and place pressure on every player and coaching staff on the list.. as others have mentioned there seems to be too much coasting at our club... and thats a bloody disgrace considering we HAD the chance to fight for a top 4 postion...

Could see it in the Warm-up Before the game that the Bombers were more on than us

I think Players and Coach feel to safe at the club with no pressure

We're an average side who has played above expectations on a few occasions. We've lost a lot more "winnable" games then we've won unexpected victories.
