And a full circle of poo amounts to being in the same poo you started in.
I'm over Brad's message. I just watched his presser and he calmly says "We're not a good side" or words to that effect. Fair enough. On last night's showing alone you'd struggle to argue with that. But I reckon you'd find a presser in 2010 when he calmly said that. And 2011. 2012 too. Not to mention 2013 and 2014. And he's been right every time. But it's giving me the shits. 6 years of telling us how much better other sides are than us. It's like "Well, they're better than us, so getting our pants pulled down was always on the cards, so you can't be too surprised when it happens." It's bullshit. I'd rather "We came here expecting to win and we're ashamed we played like that. Totally unacceptable performance". I thought he'd turned the corner with this crap when he was clearly seething after the Adelaide game. We were a genuine finals side last year, made a Prelim - we ARE (or at least were) a good side, how about demanding that the players play like one. It's been 6 years of calmly explaining how average we are!
Maybe his message to the players is different but I'm sick of him hosing down what the side is capable of. Of course it would help if he had the side not playing the poo they did last night.
