It's been fairly obvious this year we've had some terrible periods during matches where we drop off dramatically, barely score and barely even have any forward 50 entries. Defensively we're often okay, but scoring just dries up. Often in the same game we'll have a period of heavy scoring. Disturbingly it often comes after we seems to be in a winning position, like at 3 quarter time tonight. Credit to the Pies, but it seems we have a certain softness about us sometimes. It happened today, against Hawthorn, and numerous other times during the season. Even when we thrashed St. Kilda and Freo it happened. To me it's the most troubling aspect of our game. What do you think is the main cause of this? And how can it be addressed? Simply psychological? Maybe we go too hard for periods and run out of steam?
