Re: The coach, walking things back....a bit.
Anger as a motivation tool may provide a small sugar hit to get a performance improvement however it is rarely sustainable.
Those stinging words by Lyon may avert a disastrous loss this weekend however I’d need to see a much larger sample size of sustained performance well beyond this weekend to change my mind that this list isn’t going to take us far.

Re: The coach, walking things back....a bit.
I got no walking things back from that all
What I got was an honest appraisal that if we don’t stop stumbling and fumbling we won’t and don’t deserve to play finals
I also got ownership from the senior coach that the narrative around the saints has been directly impacted by his messaging
He owns that - no problem
I’m almost disappointed we are not playing Melbourne this week
I expect a response
The week later is where I watch with interest
Can they sustain it
That said who really cares ? I mean the list is middling ….does it matter ?

Burke N Wills were hacks by comparison when it comes to exploration.

Good friend stab you in the front and that’s what he’s doing. Boys gotta lift or we don’t deserve anything.

I cringe every time someone uses the phrase “sample size” in these contexts.

Re: The coach, walking things back....a bit.
I think you're projecting.
There is nothing in that presser suggesting that Lyon is "walking things back", unless we have a completely different interpretation of what "walking things back" means.
You might want to give examples of what Ross says that you could construe as "walking things back".

Thanks for the feedback, I try to keep the words to around 4 letters but let me know if that is still too challenging for you and I'll prepare a Little Golden Book translation for you with pictures.The G Train Legacy wrote: ↑Sat 22 Jul 2023 6:58pmYou use a lot of words to say nothing.Vortex wrote: ↑Fri 21 Jul 2023 1:56pm Anger as a motivation tool may provide a small sugar hit to get a performance improvement however it is rarely sustainable.

The sample size refers to a subset of the entire population used in a broader census. Instead, people should say that they are searching for more occurrences of X, as this has no connection to the sample size.
It is crucial for everyone to grasp the fundamentals of basic statistics for their own benefit.

You …want desperately to be seen as intelligent
It’s coming off as insecure….
I’ve seen a big enough sample size to comment
“Yeah….nah””

What language is this “walking things back”?
Seems to come from the same lexicon as learnings, calling out, reaching out and escalating matters!
Wank talk, or I’m just an out of touch boomer!

Not at all, if it helps maybe try and use the phrase “sample size” every now and then to help you blend in.whiskers3614 wrote: ↑Sun 23 Jul 2023 1:13pmSo it isn’t just me being out of touch with 2023 speak?Vortex wrote: ↑Sun 23 Jul 2023 1:02pmSame lexicon as exploration, audit, mulligan, cobbling the cobblers and restumping.whiskers3614 wrote: ↑Sun 23 Jul 2023 11:29am What language is this “walking things back”?

And instead of thinking of todays competition between two football teams as a “game”, try and think of it as an “audit”.
