They're an interesting case study, aren't they Clocker? These type of performances have been ingrained in the club's culture for a number of seasons. My take on it though, is slightly different. This is a club who is by and large made up of C and D grade cricketers and I mean that with the utmost respect for the playing group. Put their first XI in a Longmuir club and most players are probably playing seconds or thirds. The results that they are able to reguarly produce in the home and away season are terrific. They do however, get found out on the big stage when there is everything to play for; similar to a performance anxiety. So how do you overcome this? Recruiting is very difficult for Moorabbin West. Their facilities are sub par, their ground is forever in terrible shape and their culture is seen as 'questionable' to most on the outside looking in. It's very difficult and I'm not quite sure how they will overcome this, if ever. It may be a generational thing, where hopefully the juniors coming through will change the cultural direction of the club. Credit to them for another outstanding home and away season.
