All the media commentary suggests our list is the worst in the AFL and the perception is that if the players in the seniors aren't up to it, the players not even in the team must be even further from the mark..so the perception is that the whole list is pretty much rubbish......But how much of the crap football we have seen so far is due to a lack of confidence and how much does that lack of confidence feed on itself? PLayers with confidence in teams that are going well will make 100 metre leads to take a mark...If you lack confidence maybe its too easy to take the soft option and not run off your opponent. That leads to stagnant players up the field forcing the player with the ball to chip sideways and backwards which leads to turnovers etc...surely confidence is a huge factor in our current malaise...and maybe just as quickly as you lose it...you can get it back again....i know thats probably being overly simplistic and optimistic...but you gotta have some hope!
