I wonder if that wears the umpire down or has that subconscious effect of putting in their mind oh that should be their free/they're complaining - it shouldn't have been a free?
Sounds ridiculous I know, but you watch our games - besides Simo, no one in our team consistently questions the umpiring. Personally I think it's an ugly look and should not be tolerated, but it stands out to me as a difference of ours.
There was some article/interview with Teague recently in which he said he wants our players to play with the right intentions.
He doesn't want our players mocking the opposition, or whinging or any of that. He wants us winning by playing like gentlemen essentially.
Its a terrific idea.....but i'm not sure its effective.
Prettu sure most teams that have won flags either physically, or mentally demolish their opponents.....or both.
Are we attempting to fight with 1 arm tied behind our backs?
