CibbuanoWorsfold wants consistency
April 20th 2009 02:50
WEST COAST coach John Worsfold has challenged his players to consistently play with the same level of intensity they showed in the 33-point win over the Western Bulldogs at Subiaco Oval on Sunday
Worsfold laid down the law following the 97-point loss to St Kilda, saying career's were on the line if he didn't see a more committed effort and his players responded in the best possible fashion.
The Eagles stifled the Bulldogs' running game with their immense pressure and won more of the contested football.
Worsfold said the challenge for his side - who demolished Port Adelaide by 50 points prior to the demoralising loss to the Saints would be to maintain the same intensity week-in-week-out, starting with Saturday's clash against reigning premiers Hawthorn at Aurora Stadium.
"It was a pretty committed effort to take on a very good side and beat them," Worsfold said.
"(It's been a) bit of a rollercoaster ride, the last three weeks but we've learned a lot and we need to keep putting all that to good use."
"All the players were clear on where they let themselves down individually and how the team as a group didn't function well last week."
"It didn't need to be pointed out to them because they had reflected well on it individually."
"(So) every thing compared to last week was a bit better and consistency of effort now is what we have to show we can do."
