Football is about winning
You do realise there’s a reason the fans don’t set the culture within the club?How can any club consider not making finals a successful year. You just setting terrible standards at the club and culture.
Yes, we would have hit our target which we set for ourselves.So if the bulldogs kicked 2 less goals today, the season would be a pass?
It is a complete failure.If 9th is a success to people stop watching the sport
Enormous fail…our ladder position is a result of an easy draw
BS, we beat 4 of the top 8 during the season. We lost to two of the top 4 sides by less than a goal. Pies by 4 points and then today. Melbourne by 5. We could have easily and probably should have won all 3 of those. We let ourselves down at times but don’t buy this soft draw nonsense. We were legitimately a 7-10 team this year.Enormous fail…our ladder position is a result of an easy draw
So what do we do?It’s hard to say… Ladder says it's a fail (and rightly so), but it's more complex.
What I will say is that success breeds success. We nailed it at board, operations, and coach level (while Voss hasn’t won a premiership as coach, he knows what it takes to win)…
We need it now at player level. The fact that we have no players on the list (or at least none who’ve gone deep consistently or in a lead ship position) means we lack what it takes to go to the next level, for now. Collingwood won because their mature, finals-hardened side stayed course. Same with Melbourne as the reigning premiers.
At practice, there’s nobody who has tasted success driving standards at a player level.
Cats and swans and collingwood and hawks and tigers keep consistency because their mature players have been there, and the younger players have to meet the standard.
We don’t have that right now. That's not to say it won't happen, but who has the vision on the field?
Capitulation today (and other games) isn't the fault of the coach or football department, IMO. The 22 players on that field today (and last week, and weeks before) couldn't handle pressure from teams who know what it takes to be at the top.
