Stuff like answers around why so many injuries and why players look sluggish is nonsensical.
I think we all know why there are so many injuries...but the lack of effort over the last four weeks needs explaining. There has been a very clear drop off since the WB game without a great deal of change to the line up.

The Walsh incident, I'd imagine many players are still coping with that loss day to day, couple that with heights they reached in '16 and then '17 resulting in no reward is anyone really surprised they look "flat"? They would have been hell bent on honoring Walsh with a premiership and knowing they were so close last year to only fall short would have been draining.
Clearly the Collective Minds program, as many of the players and coaches have said "different people take different things from it" has challenged some players already battling to be at the top of their game.
Eade said on Game Day yesterday that the playing group were unhappy with the change in training program that included heavy weights on the Thursday main session before the game, this included hamstring loading and we've seen the results of that.
I didn't even need to post it in pretty colours, or maybe I should have?

Flat psychically and mentally, has to be due to a change in training program, cramming in a full preseason of work into a shorter timeframe due to the GF and potentially the preseason training camp. Our best is still the brilliant but our worst is horrible. Fitness, injuries, mindset all contributing to consistency no doubt.
No doubt the club will/is/have review everything within the football department and ensure this does not happen next season. (They better).
I agree with the article in the paper today, only thing to do now is play Poholke, Gallucci, Fogarty, Wilson all season, Milera at half back and give O'Brien and Dear 3-4 week crack to see what they offer at AFL level.

I would've thought playing in a GF would've ensured you wouldn't need to cram a full preseason in because fitness levels wouldn't have dropped away as much given you were still in a training phase up until the GF?

Watch how in their next game I bet their 'effort' levels seem to have increased.
In any form of fitness/strength/cardio/mental training rest is the most underestimated aspect.

They still get the 4 weeks off, I guess it's how you prepare yourself for returning to the preseason that counts and Talia said back in December some of the players came back under done. Perhaps the mindset was off back then?
