Coaching sprays - the obsession

Poor thread

I really don't understand peoples obsession with players getting sprays by coaches, do people get hardons when they see an employer reprimand an employee? It seems every time a player cops one its televised, has an article written about it or is mentioned in an article. DO we forget that this is a real game and these players are copping real sprays, the fact its publicised would be quite embarrassing for the poor players, should really be kept closed doors imo. Imagine being a small child and getting to see your dad play AFL footy and suddenly he cops a massive yelling at from a coach on national TV, it would dishearten the poor kid.

I would pay serious money to see you say this to Alistar Clarkson after he's just had a close loss.

Billy Brownless' recollection about a Malcolm Blight spray was great (starts at the 17 minute mark)

The current generation of young parents and how they wrap their child in bubble wrap and refuse to ever let their poor munchkins experience any kind of failure or setback.

This is what the OP wrote about an hour ago about 'things you don't understand'......

Are you for real? It's sport you drone.

I still stand by what I said about how a spray should be kept behind closed doors... However I came accross a thread about it and one was something about Malcolm Blights "ladder treatment" to adelaide players in 1998 or 99, I was way to young to remember anything about this, I tried looking it up but didn't find anything. Actually curious to what he did, although I don't care for sprays, I find his coaching methods quite intriguing. Any videos or explanation or something?

All I am saying I don't believe it should be televised.. Not that they shouldnt be sprayed, I do believe teams/players deserve/need a good spray now and then.

Cracked a mental once and the 3/4 times huddle was forced to stand in a circle with everyone facing each other, then proceeded to walk around the circle giving them all a bake to the back of the head. Was pretty epic.

Blight was one of the best bakers in the business.

Sometimes it is a spray that gets a team fired up...seriously not the best thread

Should Natural Disasters be televised?

I am mainly talking about individual player sprays, not quarter time/three quarter time team sprays

DON'T YOU EVER QUESTION A SPRAY!!!! THE ONLY ******* NATURAL DISASTER I CAN SEE HERE IS THE FACT YOU WERE PUT ON THIS PLANET!!!

 

[Pea Nut]

It's because it throws back to a bygone era. Plain and simple !!

 

[vWestCoast]

In all seriousness I do love watching players cop a spray. Not sure why tbh probably because we all feel like doing it but instead end up yelling at our TV in frustration

The impact/importance of natural disasters is only measured by the quality of the TV pictures they produce.

Get your sarcasm detector checked, then check the OPs name.

Of course, in fact I almost threw a remote into a TV when Vickery ****ed up what should have been an easy goal on Friday.
