Spud Frawley slams Richmond's "mental disintegration" (Herald-Sun)

[Gracie]

A parallel drawn between us and the great Brisbane side, get excited men it's going to happen

Think if we had a young Jonathan Brown come in as CHF now we would be pretty hard to beat. Even a young Richo

Barrett in his "Sliding Doors" column today:

IF ... Dimma keeps refuting there's an issue ...    

THEN ... we ain't believing him until the Tigers win a close one. And then another one.

Spud had less to work with.  Spud is also correct.  This capitulation is doing my stuffing head in.  This team is mentally incapable of winning a grand final, they do not have the mongrel in them.  Too many 'she will be right' and hightlight reel posers out there.  Build a team of dedicated mongrel bastards not 'good blokes' or mercs who are not going to do what needs to be done. Why can't the coach get this through his stuffing head.

Hooter sounding like a darksider .....if that ain't the canary in the mineshaft, I dunno what is....

The biggest, overall issue, is they think they're better than they are.

I understand that to a degree, that's what sport psychology is about but there needs to be a viable quantity of quality for that to succeed as opposed to the endless, press conference rebuttals.

Even I have my limits,  first time bad , twice maybe bad luck, three times is getting stuffing ridiculous,  four times is a chronic habit and a curse with an undeniable issue that needs addressing.
