Never deliberately lose. **** that.

Learn from the Philadelphia 76ers. They celebrated deliberately losing and their culture has been ruined ever since. Constantly choking and underperforming and having collapses under pressure.

You don't let that attitude grow in your club.

I love that we kicked the shit out of the Suns when the pencil sharpeners wanted us to deliberately lose. And I love that we traded away our future draft pick this year, rather than worry about being bad next year.
Exactly. How good has this winning culture of ours been since we knocked off the Suns at the end of 2023. :stern look

And they would have been able to enjoy their off-season holidays without a 21 game losing streak weighing on their minds.
They might have come back better. Hungrier knowing they had that season, instead they come back thinking they are doing enough and served up that slop in 24. Having things stew at you over a pre season can be enough to turn the ship. You dont know how they would have reacted
 
I didn't say that we have a winning culture, yet. I'm talking about not doing things that further promote a losing culture.

If I was on a 20 game losing streak and my opponent laid down to let me win, I would forfeit the match.

The GC laid down, there was no merit in the win, the result meant nothing “for the club”.
It took a dead rubber against the GC in tassie to break a 20 game losing streak… embarrassing is what it was.

You should keep talking about this. It's not old or irrelevant anymore. It's also just really interesting to hear your perspective on this for the first time.
 
Anyone catch training this morning?
Yeah went down for the early morning session today.

Stayed for the full 1 3/4 hours.

The most intense/interesting part of the session was the 20 mins or so on working on clearing the ball after a point or a mark/free in the back half. Powell, Fisher, Bergman and FOS were trialled as the primary kick in players - McKercher was then used as the primary player to receive after the kick in found a target - this allowed McKercher to be the key player to kick into forward 50 area.

The only player that seemed not to be training/running laps was CCJ.

Duursma, George, Comben and Corr running laps.

Other tidbits were Goad has good footskills, Teakle and Zurhaar both look fit and ready to go. Urquardt's footskills weren't the worst I have seen - granted no pressure out there today though. Finnbar's goal kicking was being worked on - and it is still a work in progress.

Boys seemed up and about - but a very light session overall.
 
Callaghan is an absolute jet bro

I have no doubt that at some point in the next 3 or 4 years the general view will be that JHF is the best player in the comp. He is insanely good.
However, I am very happy with the outcome we have - GW, Sheez, Kerch, LDU, WP, BGZ, FoS is some kinda midfield group

He isn’t an afghani running around on a building site, because of such you should know its a typo..

Your great grandpa joke sucks grey balls
Your constant negative posting sucks bigger balls. Think it’s about time you took a spell.
