The psychological demons are here to stay

Can’t take much more of this

Need some serious character here

Here we go again people! Strap on your seatbelts!

Just keep working away Dees

Keep it down there for half an hour

Damn there is way too much time left

And that’s how it starts

We started to win some clearances and bam got some reward! Max is starting to take over as well. Game is by no means over but we’ve given ourselves a good chance. The mentality is what you worry about after games like last week.

THAT’S WHAT GARLETT IS THERE FOR BABY!

Last 5 is critical

So deflating

Our skills are atrocious right now. We are seriously gifting this to them

Our defence..

Joel Smith

Putting everything that happened in that half out of our mind this is the absolute fact: We have not played well, but we are 7 points down. That’s all we can think about right now. Quite a few players need to lift. Jones is butchering it in close, Hogan is having a stinker. Seedsman being out for the rest of the game gives me a little comfort, one less slick ball user to worry about. Ruck duel looks pretty even at the moment.

Teetering on the brink..

Man, all you have to do is break even in contested ball and you’re a show against us. This game looks like it’s being played in a bathtub with all the fumbling and sliding around and our skills are so off. Conditions or not why can’t we execute a simple handball to a target? We just find ways to make that look so hard and stunt any run going forward. Need a big lift this quarter and it starts in the middle with contested ball.

Perfect conditions my backside. Fumbling and slipping aplenty

Gotta love teams slotting their chances against us almost all the time

What can you say pre-game that hasn’t already been said? This one is everything. If the run home becomes any sort of situation where we have to win those last 2 then that will be it. Gut feel is not great all, sorry wish I could be as upbeat as others but it just wreaks of one of those return games that we don’t get the job done in after torching them in the first one. I have full faith we’ll have a crack though and hope like hell it goes our way.

Pretty much. So much quiet desperation, you could cut it with a knife.

It could be absolutely anything. That's what is so uncomfortable about all this. We will know a lot more after Saturday but man the only way I'm coping with this right now is to think one week at a time and not too far ahead.

Damn that's a haunting image..

Congrats Dom. 100 games is an achievement in anyone's book. Hasn't been his best season but we're right behind him and hope he can hit his straps in this run home!
