Unacceptable

Like many of us here, I can cop losing.

What I cannot cop, not for one minute more, is the lack of passion we showed in the first half. How dare they. These blokes show up to work, and win, lose or draw, the one unacceptable thing is a lack of passion and desire. They are playing for a jumper. They are meant to have professional pride. Daniher included. How many years in a row have we been soft after the break? How long did it take to get a structure in the forward line?

For that first quarter "I don't give a [censored]" effort to carry over into the second quarter is just disgraceful. Then, guess what, we come out in the third quarter breathing fire, desperate in the middle. The difference was obvious. That makes it much worse.

I am ashamed of this group. It's the worst feeling in the footy world to be ashamed of your team. What have we learnt when we keep showing this same mental softness year upon year. Time for some hard calls to be made. Disgusting.
