I hesitantly watched McRae interviewed on 360 last night....not all of it...I couldnt, but I did take note the situational game training drills the Pies conduct every week between their VFL and AFL players to end training. It adds a layer of fun but it also trains them on something a professional team will need one day.
He's a crafty one McRae. No surprise the Pies have won 11 games less than 7 points.
Michael Voss talks about adding layers to the game plan, and I hope he introduces situational game training because after the last 2 games its obvious we don't or, if Voss does, the players must be plain dumb.
Bondi love your input here so thankyou. FWIW, I still contend that in addition to what you suggest (and other areas), a focus needs to be centered on fixing the clear mental fragility which has been shown in parts earlier this season, but certainly when we had critical games over the last few weeks, where we just simply had to win and could of despite stupid dumb decisions. What that entails, I think, is getting a psychologist or similar on the payroll, to provide the support they need to improve mentally, especially when the heat is on and/or when you are under pressure situations.
Like Leading Teams?
We didn't start the season with 4 quarter efforts, and like last game we played 1 great quarter but one.
The good thing, is we did adjust, and a few times we played 3 or 4 quarter games and won: Swans & Freo
WE have to stay focussed for longer, and with a bit of mongrel: to play with hatred.

. In my view, the playing group has issues above the shoulders - their mental state and their ability to as you say "remain focused for longer et al". To me that suggests a professional (not sure exactly what - maybe a psychologist) is required to help out
