I don't know if it's just me but this whole campaign right from when we actually qualified has just felt weird, like something is missing.
I can't put my finger exactly on what but everything about this, the team just don't seem to have that aussie spirit or something.
anyone feel the same?

Most of the top 15 knew Pim would pick them. Complacency on players behalf and the coach perhaps? It was very different 5 years ago, these guys were all fighting and had something to prove, they were hungrier. Guus didn't pick you just on reputation.
The past couple years there just hasn't been the changing of the guard in positions needed (i.e. Moore, Grella). Guys like Sasa Org, Bosnar should've been given a shot to prove themselves at the back. They actually play 1st team week in week out. Fringe 1st teamers like Carney, Valeri (maybe Carle?) and others could have been put in front the Moore's and the like (who weren't in form or playing) and then these guys told to step up and prove they are still up for it.
I just hope these guys realize now they can't just show up and scrape a win. Might be OK in Asia, not in a WC. I still think they can win the next 2 games. . . (hope).
