Really interesting comment from Chad. "We're going to challenge each other, and Sammy's going to be huge on that, bringing that competitive instinct back into the club and its only going to drive us forward".
Did we not have it?
I’m not privy to what goes on behind close doors but on field I feel our competitive instinct had been missing since round 4 last year. We barely held on against North then due to COVID we had to hub in Sydney. The giants came was bad but the pies game were we kicked 3 goals was woeful.
From that point to the bye this year we looked like a team going through the motions. After that it picked up but still behind where I feel it needs to be.
I don’t think the players weren’t trying because some were trying very hard and it wasn’t clicking. But as a team we just didn’t have it. Where in the second half we got the fire in the bellies and performed a lot better.
