Respect

Since 1995 we have played Sydney 12 times for just 3 wins maybe we went into the game thinking it was going to be easy. We must give other sides respect and not to think it was goin to be easy no games are easy in the AFL. After our 3rd qtr fade out against the Lions i thought oh well it was in Brisbane so losing by 14 points ain to bad but the 11 goal loss to the Bombers i started to think about where the Pies are heading in 2003 and in my opinion i was saying a loss to Sydney could cause us a lot of problems in 2003 and it is only round 6 but i think we could struggle to even make the 8 we have the Crows next week at AAMI stadium West coast here then the Saints Then Port over at AAMI stadium none of those are easy games at all. Maybe we need to play a decent side because for some unknown reason we play shit against lower sides yet play fairly well against top 4 sides. 3-0 now 3-3 could we even be 3-7 after the next 4 games

Maybe the players should start by respecting the others in the team. How many of them could looks Bucks in the eye and say they gave it their all ??

If we get back to doing the basics of tackling properly and manning up on players and playing direct football instead of kicking wide all day then maybe things will turn around.

Next week we will be big underdogs and maybe this can help take the pressure of some of the players as no one expects us to win.
