WTF was Fly talking about in his Round 2 post match presser?!?
2023 was about “taking the steps”. Maybe we’ve stumbled across the club’s theme for 2024, we’re going all culinary?
Have we been looking at the wrong primo all along? Wasting our energies on the merits of pizza all’ananas when we should have been more concerned about what’s going on between sheets of pasta?
Tonight in his presser Fly laid out the root cause of our 2024 on-field malaise when he said that “it doesn’t matter if the kitchen is dirty”, and “that it’s not gunna affect the result” and then “getting busy” (lots and lots of “getting busy”) and focusing about the “fundamentals”.
Now you don’t need to Heston Blumenthal to see clearly what’s going on inside the four walls of Collingwood. Everybody who is on top of their domestics very well knows that a dirty kitchen certainly WILL affect the result. FFS, if you’re gunna be baking lasagna (or pizza all’ananas or whatever) then start with a clean kitchen, and that IS pretty fundamental. As a bloke with 44 sons, Fly should know that he needs to set a better example than that.
Pro tip: finishing with a clean kitchen is also a damn good idea and will set us up well for baking lasagna next week against Brisbane at the GABBA.
Is it really that simple? Start with a clean kitchen. Use fresh ingredients. Be hard at the contest and connect with team-mates. End with a clean kitchen?
Do we have too much cheese on our lasagna? Do you think it matters whether we have too much cheese on our lasagna? Maybe it’s all in the type of cheese? Maybe our problem is that we’ve been trying too hard and getting all fancy with quattro formaggi on top when we should just keep it simple with mozzarella?
Do we need to get Gordon Ramsay to give our players a good old fashioned spray?
I’ve got NFI where this thread is going. A bit like our season really. Last year was sweet. This year is going a bit sour and if it continues this way I’ll quickly get bitter and very salty.
Over to you …
