Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3146990, member: 9052"] I'm not sure they are deliberately playing badly (although I would say some have checked out), but rather they are struggling to find a motivation to play. Effectively the way the board handled the transition of Bennett says to the playing group... this is a business and when you aren't needed we will get rid of you.... they then said that to Roberts, Kodi, McGuire, Macca, etc. I'm not saying that those guys shouldn't have been moved on... and I would even say that what they did for Kodi, McGuire and Macca was in their best interest. Likely they all wanted to stay with the club, but they released them for better contracts, which provided them security for their future (Macca is allowed to play 80min every week vs coming off the bench for 30mins a game). The board have brought a cut throat business approach to the football club, and that is not how it works in sport. The business side must be separate from the sporting side. Some of the guys don't look like they have passion for the jersey anymore... and the whole team is just completely shot of confidence. Absolutely nothing is working for this team on the field at the moment and some of their high energy players and attacking weapons that could spark some confidence are also missing (Fifita & Staggs, Turpin with his high energy defence and Lodge is underdone due to injury). There are no byes in the season to regroup or change things and the easy part of our draw to build confidence from is now gone... if the players returning from injury don't spark some confidence then we will have to hope that the dogs continue to be woeful in order to avoid the spoon.
