I haven't melted this year because from about round 9 last year I thought something was wrong with the team. They seemed to be winning but something wasn't right. Attended the GWS game and what seems to be gone imho is 'The Passion' The old motto used to be we have the passion. Well it's gone now. The players were just going through the motions apart from a 5 minute spell in the last.
Was told that there's an issue with the new assistant coaches who are used to having more autonomy and aren't liking RTB's way of doing things. Causes players to lose confidence and hence the issues atm.
I find that hard to believe since during the off season he gave them what was basically a free reign. If he is taking more control now then this shouldn't be a surpise given the results.
