Message: [QUOTE="WASSHHH, post: 2871279, member: 9424"] Any true fan isn't concerned that we lose - it's how we lose that is concerning. Beaten by a better team - acceptable. Beaten because of poor refereeing - acceptable (well, moderately). Beaten because of poor luck - acceptable. Beaten because your attitude stinks and, aside from a few, you don't put in the effort or seem to care when there is so much at stake - that's the bitter pill to swallow. It certainly shouldn't be panic stations yet, but as far as I am concerned there is simply no excuse for dishing up tripe like last night. Only a few can hold their heads high, the rest should feel ashamed. To make matters worse, this happened only 3 weeks ago against the same team - last night should never have been a surprise. As you say, we will lose games again, every team does. But what separates us from, and I hate to say it, the winners like Melbourne, is attitude. Melbourne are ruthless and seem to have clones of Cronk, Slater and Smith sitting, waiting to take over when they retire. Aside from the Manly GF where they were blasted by 40 (a lot of that has to do with stealing victory the week before from us), I can't remember the last time Melbourne turned it up like we did last night - it is just not in their DNA.
