Just pointing out a few hubris related home truths which everybody else has danced around over the past few weeks...

From your analysis, Piedys, the blueprint to beat the Pies is to wait until the Pies are in a form/motivation slump.piedys wrote:And supposing Sidey doesn't quite recover 100% from this knee problem by the pointy end?scoobydoo wrote:What’s the perfect blue print to beat Collingwood?

Put Elliot, Sidebottom back in & then they all need a new blue print. The boys had an off day that’s all.
And supposing Elliott doesn't quite return to 100% effectiveness deep into the season?
That's a lot of hope placed on two injured and ageing players.
Be more concerned about the lack of desire demonstrated today by certain players we fielded.
Too many players having off-days [days off] for the last three weeks.
Totally unacceptable from a team defending top spot.
The maggots didn't beat us today; we beat ourselves. We've had way worse in 2023.90 nice wrote:They are a pack of pricks Melbourne we give them everything but nothing in reply **** Melbourne cheats and umpires $$%^%%$ cheats
We reload and onwards to the premiership

That is not a blueprint that the opposition actually controls.

I hate it when our team loses as much as you.
But i don't feel any need to chide our team for laziness, unacceptable effort etc.
We will benefit from the bye and regearing for the next game against Adelaide.
We know the fast-ball movement game plan, which was shelved post Brisbane game, will be brought back out later in the season, no question.Ronnie McKeowns boots wrote:Agree the kick-ins are lacking the dynamism we had earlier in the year, perhaps teams have got wise to our strategies? Perhaps we are leaving some tricks in the bag until later in the year.
Gives me zero pleasure to bake the team which was sitting pretty 11/1 until 3.00pm today; but any hubris must be weeded out before it manifests into something worse.Ronnie McKeowns boots wrote:Dyso is 100% correct in his bake, the effort was not there at times today and its been sneaking in for weeks.
Hubris is unacceptable
