Acceptance - we are now a middling side

[UKTiger]

A couple of seasons we had a team of players who played for the Guernsey, each other and now we have a group of individuals who go through the motions. So sad

Think we need to rename this thread. Middling side is overrating us

I laugh because it hurts otherwise.

Middling is a bit generous I feel.

I was wrong and apologise to the forum at large

In fairness you were probably right when you posted it! Things have accelerated downhill somewhat since then.

 

[Carter]

But what about all those who are adamant things would turn, and that we “always” start slowly

That Ross can play and the club just can’t see it

The real experts here.

You were right but now we've dropped another tier.

This has come 12 months earlier than I expected.

 

[The_General]

Playing like our ladder position states.
Not even a middling team at the minute.

 

[DragaTheCro]

Sadly our culture has gone back to pre 2017 days. Didn’t think it would happen this soon. Sad.

Unlike Carts to over rate us

This side and some of its senior players this season and last have that look of blokes stuck in a train or on a plane that cant wait for it to reach its destination so they can get off and go on their way.,.

Yep. Seems some players have clocked out but keep coming to collect their paycheck

We have become the new Hawthorn ageing stars that we’re match winners have lost their spark
Young players not upto it
Still never expected such a sudden fall from a top 8 side to a bottom 4 side

Reckon we are crashing harder and faster than they did.

They made top 4 in 2018 3 seasons after their last of 3 flags on the way out.

 

[Carter]

Some cooked veterans, some decent prime cuts, some promising kids (but nowhere near enough).

Middling trending downward slowly.

Next year the fall will be quicker.

 

[Tigers of Old]

I think we saw what happens when we come up against a genuine quality opponent.

Didn't help as it was reported some players were taking cold & flu tablets before the game.
And they played like it.

At least we will get some good draft picks so we can bounce back quickly in 2033
