The difference between us and those other teams is ours is on average way younger, and the only senior players we have are well past it. Not a great mixture for a mid season surge.

Melbourne were also on 18 points and were 6th on the ladder.

Ok, so bottom 4 but only 1.5 wins outside the 8. Not too adrift.

Don't have to worry about that, we'll win 13+. The beginning of the resurgence and happily for Boydy, Seibold, Knik and Macca a week free of shit talk. Nothing will change for Milford though, he'll still tackle like it's under sevens.

Yep, because he is missing one on one tackles and dropping the ball.
Fair dinkum, some people...

Like the jockey said to the trainer - I can’t pick him up and carry him out of the gate.

Nope, because his team has been consistently losing every game. And that's at least partly because of our impotent attack that doesn't know what to do on the 5th tackle. And which he says "isn't a problem" and refuses to change.
Every expert commentator is saying he needs to change the spine, but he says he knows better. Well he's the coach; it's his choice. But he's also responsible for the outcome.
The longer he continues this losing streak the less convinced I am he knows what he's doing.

our attack isn't the problem ...
we have created plenty of opportunities this season ... but dropping the ball repeatedly over the line (or throughout the match really) doesn't help us score points.
in fact we just scored 22 points against the best defensive team in the league (who before they played us were averaging around 8.8 points per game)
