No Pressure No Surprise

Post: # 1976485Post Vortex »

Makes me want to spew up!

Look at the players who play well when there is nothing on the line and no one is watching.

You can't be a contender with that type of mental fragility and there will still probably be players slapping each other on the back and congratulating each other for playing well in a dead rubber and was still a loss.

Any blind freddy can see we’re poorly coached just like the Richo years, have never seen so many players constantly missing targets by hand and foot..

You can blame the players, but think about it when our players gets the ball, if there’s no space around you, no movement in front you, no one leading, the space you want to kick to is flooded with players, and you just spent most of your petrol tickets chasing blokes because your team constantly turns the ball over for fun!!

What chance have you got to execute your skills? Good teams always seem to be able to find space, leading players going forward, we’re complete opposite.. That’s why Ratten has to take the blame.. not the players..

Even basic stuff….
Ball near boundary line ….as Fox commentator said…good sides routinely kill that ball
Or easy Swans goals in goal square where our defence rushes the guy with the ball …..no one back …Swans waltz through….
Or defenders pushing up too high into middle…Swabs eventually clear over their heads rush back, go end to end and score …
We’ll coached sides you don’t see this structure breaking down
Poorly coached

It's a Catch 22. Coach or the players .Doubts from all angles.. It's a wholistic nightmare . Then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy
of failure .Invert that and you win . Catch 22.

It's the chicken or the egg


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
