We've now bowed out at tge first hurdle in the last 4 finals games. Seems to me there's a mentality issue in this club, not tough enough mentally perhaps 
Only one of those games were at home. We should have been Perth two years ago, but the circumstances of the end of that season are well documented. 

The teams been stuck Australia, have covid, lost their starting midfielder, and 2 of their best attacking players for large parts of the season, and comfortably made the top 6. Could easily have not won a game after Lewis got injured. Mental toughness is not their problem. Sometimes even games go against you.

I agree its been a tough year but how is it that we comfortably beat WU in a regular season match, but completely falter in a finals game? Beaten them 3 times this season, including 4:1 in the last meeting but when it counts we disappear in a puff of smoke. The answer simply is weak mentality. And as I pointed out, its been happening in our last 4 games. There's just no grit and determination in this team when its finals time
