AFL Rd 10 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood

[madbluboy]

Sunday was our worst effort for a while. Couple of senior players shirked contests that you would have to consider dropping them for.

My current position is similar to a coach like Hardwick. You back your players and coaches in, and defend them as best you can. Give them the BOD, and trust that they are motivated by doing their best for all stakeholders, until it becomes evidently clear they're not. You can be passionate in this way, much like Hardwick was, and that's a much better way of using passion than spouting baseless, negative ill informed drivel on talk back IMO

That's good you feel that way Paul
But you won't get that across the board.
You can only dictate your own behaviour.
You can't tell people how to support or what is 'good supporting' and 'bad supporting'.
They just won't listen to you, and it's a behaviour you won't change.

With over 80,000 members and probably twice as many supporters you'll get a huge range of behaviour.
For every supporter who says "They're our boys, we have to support them through thick and thin" you'll get the 'Snapper'
But at the end of the day when they hold the cup up, there will be little difference in the joy each group are feeling.

I heard that clown ring Gerard Whately on SEN too.

I can certainly express an opinion about what I think is poor supporter behaviour, and if the Snappers of this world want to come right back at me and tell me my way of supporting sucks, I have no issue with that.

Pauly trust me, there are more Snappers amongst the rank and file the there are "Paulys", by a very long way.

Snapper is normally a very good caller on both SEN and AW, he lost the plot the day/night, he is not normally like that and far from a clown.

Yes, I think that's true. Supporting a football club doesn't mandate, but certainly encourages, emotional connections and emotional responses. But there is a line IMO.......

That's good to hear. I'd hate to think that was his default position.

only 1 thing left to do Guys and that is to beat them when we play them again and HOPEFULLY cost them top spot.

[Baggers]

I've heard Snapper a good few times also. That call seems the exception rather than the rule. A passionate Bluebagger... we're all a bit, let's say 'overboard' when we're emotional and perhaps hurting.

Guys like Snapper, Tommy from Roville and half a dozen others are legends in their own lunch boxes, going from station to station with their opinions, loving the sound of their own voices. They don't consider themselves contributors to the programs, they think they are part of the program.
