Yeah we won the NAB cup woopdeedoo our performances in the first 4 games have been pitiful. Yes we have won 2 but in both of those we were anything but convincing. We have shown glimpses in all of the games that we can be dangerous but the problem is that we seem to have no ability to play 4 quarters of football. Now i have a real problem with this when we have been told by all and sundry that Lyon would make us more accountable and improve our intensity at the ball. What a joke! The last 2 weeks in particular have been weak insipid and overall lacking heart.
Lyon has had a full season and preseason to get his gameplan and strategy ready for a tilt at actually playing good accountable footy.
Where is the heart, intensity and confidence - do we actually have any! Seems as though Lyon hasn't been able to change the mindset of the players because we have too many passengers and it frustrates me because they may not be the best team but the thing is all i want is 100% effort 100% of the time. I can't actually see this team winning a hell of alot of games in the foreseeable future (god i hope i am wrong) and s***s me to tears because i love this team i bleed red white and black 7 days a week 365 days a year when the win i'm happy as larry when they lose it makes the week go forever. It wouldn't hurt so much if we put in a good effort but i can't even see any silver lining at present because as a team they are weak insipid and absolutely uninspiring!
So Lyon as coach you have the biggest task ahead of you, you have to in the next few weeks turn this football club around, you have to drill it in to the players that less than 100% effort in every game will not be acceptable and they can find themselves in the magoo's because if they have not got a consequence for poor performance then the mediocrity will continue and we will never ever be a threat to anyone!
And i am over mediocrity and hoping i want results and i bloody want them NOW!
