Why So Different??

[Mantis]

I listened to a short discussion about this on the ABC's 'the Huddle' and it was suggested that the players hated Malthouse.  Burke said that they were clearly lying when they professed support for Malthouse.

It was a little tongue in cheek but who knows?

The players were clearly scared to make a mistake and played in preservation mode. They now have no fear as they know they need to get back into the contest and win the ball again. Your suggestion could have some value, or it could have just been fear to get the instruction wrong. Now they look like they really like the coach and want to play for him and their supporters. I wonder if our old coach is watching games and shaking his head while rolling his eyes.
