Looks like JT is feeling the pressure already after last week's capitulation.
He's spent most of the pre-match press conference today whinging about the draw, and how it's unfair that we have to play the Bulldogs twice in such a short space of time.
While I agree that the draw is stupid and should be more evenly spread out, why on earth is he talking about this now? The draw has been known for months. He didn't say anything about it when it was released, did he?
That fact is that all teams are good enough to win on their day. The whole 'we should've played a lesser team' is a load of crap. If you're good enough you beat whoever is there on the day and we haven't been good enough to beat Canberra and a depleted Bulldogs team.
If we didn't give up two 20 point leads we are equal first, simple as that.
These comments have a defeatist attitude about them, I don't like it one bit. Very poor form.
