Forget "ins" and "outs"
I'm very disappointed in our lack of effort gor the past........well, 6 weeks. With the exception of the Freo game, and lets face it, as a measuring stick, they aren't much chop and they nearly rolled us........but we have been EXPOSED as pretenders.
We are soft at the contest, and other than the Dees game, we have been SOFT, physically, mentally......SOFT.
In a year that is wide open, we should be taking that next step and pushing our credentials for a flag, just as the Dons are, the Tiges are, WCE is........
Injuries might excuse a small amount of class, but not effort.
I won't name names, but it starts at the top, and C Judd has been well below his best, even when he was surrounded by crap players and structures, he still had dominant patches. I have seen little of this for some time.
Our much hyped midfield are being handed their butts in a sling week after week, and that is putting massive pressure on our cobbled together forward and defensive line-ups.
Injnuries have hurt, but we were crap before they really hit.
We had Waite, Krezuer, Duigan, Hendo in the loss to the Saints, and the week before GWS mids had it over ours.
Before the game an article from CFC.com on Ellard, he was quoted to say:
"That's where we want to be, we want to improve on last year, if we don't want to improve and go top four then there's something wrong."
From where I sit, the effort would indicate the players don't "want" it enough.
So there IS something wrong, sadly, the coach will be the target, but each player should have a good hard look at himself, otherwise each one will have blood on their hands, surely they don't have to see another coach sacraficed to pull the finger out!
End rant.
Cats by 7 goals when I leave...........:-(
