I can’t believe people can’t call it for what it is. It’s a premiership hangover. We have been saved by 2 quarters efforts, but we’ve only been able to play one 4 quarter game this season. The premiership window tells you that we’ve become a lot lazier and when the game was on the line, we only had a pressure rating of 118 today. If fagan doesn’t get the boys motivated, then this season will fall apart really quickly. Look at the game, and you will see that our players have lost the hunger. I said it weeks ago, but we won’t win the premiership with the way we’re playing, but if we keep this up, we won’t even win a final.
 
Woeful effort from the team again, becoming a bit one dimensional and predictable in the middle as well. Doesn't help when we get smashed in clearances again.

Did Answerth hit a single target by foot today? I know it's not his game, but come on...

Not surprised by the result tonight, had that feeling couple weeks ago that we'll have a bad month or so just not working hard enough on the defensive side of our game at the moment, history shows can't beat the hawks so another loss next week. Reckon the bye can't come quick enough. Blokes like Cameron, Rayner, achee, simply aren't getting involved either.
 
Not going to overreact and say we can't win it. Fages has shown he can get the boys up when it matters. Worrying effort for most of the season though
 
I’d hoped last week was the wake up call we needed. Two weeks of clearance domination, and doing exactly what this board said not to - putting it down Gawn’s throat!!
 
Mentally weak.

We should win this, so we don't need to try.
We are 20 points up so we can coast.

We were the better team on the day, but you will be challenged, and we were, and we just assumed it'd come good. Effort and pressure not there.

Deserve what we got. Drop one or two for next week. Put the team on notice that effort is non-negotiable.

Need to ask some of the boys how much they want it. Had an easy draw to cover some very poor efforts

The evidence is now overwhelming that the mindset isn't right. Doesn't mean we can't correct it but to get it to the level we had last year is getting unrealistic
It's been gradually dropping off as well.

Very poor performance and effort there today against a team that was coughing it up worse than us and was there for the taking. Our last quarter was a comlpete shocker.
 
Lachie and Will need to have more of defensive mindset in games they are both great players but the last few weeks they have been poor at stages in this aspect of the game we win when we dominate threw the middle....where is the pressure tackling that was on display against St kilda and the Suns?

I struggled to give votes this week Diz
Suitcase 1st half
Mckenna
Bailey
Morris

Can’t rely on playing an off game and then automatically expecting a lift the next week.
Bombing long is not working. Backline just look so easy to get a kick on at the moment. Andrews looks as slow as a treacle. More so than usual.

Pants firmly pulled down:
Fort
Andrews
 
Well I don't think anyone's surprised are they ?

We've been flirting with our form and lacking intensity for periods during games all year.

How we respond against Hawthorn at the MCG could well tell us whether we're up or it or not.

It'll be a slaughter based on current form.

Our midfield needs a change up. Can't carry Neale, Ashcroft in the same area. Too much ball winning and not a lot of defending going on. Will collects a lazy 30 disposals but hurt factor is questionable.

7 out of 10 games we've been well below our best and clearly a mindset issue. Can we find that extra level we did last year? Very hard to get to giving 110% when you're giving less than 50 most weeks
 
We are playing bruise free football. Apart from Lester and Dunkley, players happy to watch.

Answerth was putrid tonight. He was an absolute turn over machine. Payne is clearly a slow learner, because once again at a crucial stage of a game he goes the dinky idiot kick that falls apart and costs us. Complete lack of football smarts. Lester was our best defender tonight by an absolute country mile and Gardiner was our best forward (well done Dizzy) - that speaks volumes.

McCluggage needs to go to tackling school.
