Yep, the stats clearly show that this isn't a personnel issue - its an attitude issue. The players know they're the best list in it, but they're playing at about a quarter of the intensity of Geelong and it shows. The time to turn it around has come. 3 wins out of 4 is the minimum after blowing leads against other top 8 teams. If we make the finals in the top 4 and with decent momentum then I think the narrative around us changes. Everyone is "the hunted" and "the hunter" in finals.

The fact that BBB is out for another week minimum is both troubling and reassuring at the same time. He's been average this year, but clearly his knee is bothering him and if we can sort that out in the next few weeks then he becomes dangerous again. Also means we're forced to do something in the F50 to become a little more dynamic rather than hoping a clearly injured Brown plays well. My preference is Laurie, I don't really rate KC, but we'll see I guess.
