AFL Rd 3: Pre Game Prognostications: Carlton vs Geelong in Geelong

[Thryleon]

The put down was directed at clubs who think that setting winning as a goal is some sort of powerful, never before thought of idea that will inspire the players to greater heights and put the club ahead of the pack, as if somehow the players hadn't already figured this out or may have forgotten. It's as idiotic as telling them to put on their jumpers. Has there ever been a team / coach anywhere in the AFL/VFL that has said it's no biggie if the team loses ?

If you play poker, you can have all the skills and pep talks in the world - you can't win with a losing hand, which is my point about reality.

Green shoots and getting comfortable being uncomfortable is all we heard about for 4 years.

Would have been nice to have hear a bit more about trying to set standards.
