Are  we placing too much credence in wet conditions for our poor performances? Time to dry out and Restump Podcast review yesterday’s hosing at the hands of the Pies.  

Did we have water logged ears after drowning on the Gold Coast and were unable to hear the instruction? Did the written instruction get smudged by the rain? Is anyone down there aware of these things called weather reports?

It’s difficult to ascertain what the reasoning is behind our unpreparedness for wet weather football again. But what seemed further baffling was the inability to subsequently adapt to the conditions. If global warming doesn’t kick in soon and dry the place out…. the slide could well continue!

We’ll save the in depth talk for the pod but there did seem a worrying inability to adapt and or deal with what Collingwood brought. 

The overuse of the handball signified we weren’t in the correct frame of mind and yet going +23 for contested possession and +46 for uncontested possession…. you have to scratch your head and ask questions!

Switta has been pinged for chicken winging Jack Ginnivan but we have to give a deserved rap to that man Will Brodie and, while in positive mode, that was a pretty fair game from Hayden the Young aerialist. 

Pre-season, if we were told we’d be 7 & 3, we’d have suggested the person to seek medical attention. The truth is we’re in pretty good shape and we’re probably marginally ahead of expectations. We need to arrest this recent slide though because our run home is red hot! 

Should we have cottoned on to Collingwood’s ruse and subbed a tall out? Given Darcy Moore was blanketing Tabs, should we have switched him to decoy? Did we get some clarity around playing the 3 talls going forward and has covid affected Blake Acres? Questions we’ll ponder on the pod. 

In other news, Jojo McDonnell is asking if anyone knows any good laser tattoo removal clinics? And is Jack Ginnivan one of the Chief’s favourite players?

Its cold and its wet but at the Restump we’ll make the necessary adjustments. Yes sure, it’s simply turning the heating up a degree or two, but we’ve come in prepared and ready to adapt to the inclement podcasting conditions. 

So, get your self a cup of coffee, settle down, click play and turn it up. You need something to drown out the noise of this bloody rain!
