Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley has conceded that his side has lost confidence after losing six games in a row.
โThe comment about forgetting how to win is really apt, especially for a young group,โ Buckley said.
โMick (Malthouse) said during the week that itโs an excuse, and it is. And itโs a reasonable one. We know we can play better footy than we have in the last couple of weeks.
โYou do have to learn to win, and then you have learn to handle winning as a list and as a group.
โWeโve got elements of our playing list at the moment that have been through a successful period ... and theyโve learnt to win and handle winning.
โWe need to find that again as an organisation.
โTo get to 8-3 was really positive for us but weโve just fallen short in the last couple. I think thatโs probably put a bit of a dent in our confidence. It doesnโt take away the fundamentals that we need to get back to playing our best footy and thatโs what weโre focusing on.โ
