Can we stop making excuses

[random260]

Seriously, what infuriates me is that when teams lose you have those 1 or 2 people saying it was a "brave loss", "we had injured players." It's very annoying. (Thank god majority of wce aren't sympathetic). But the good teams such as hawthorn are able to play well without some key players.

Losing games is unacceptable and should never be used as an excuse. If eagles lose without mcgovern; I will still be pissed and I will not give any sympathy.

There is no such thing as "brave losses." If you can't steal a game that's just down right horrible.

Big losses are more "brave" then close losses.

Not make excuses.....

Yeah, you haven't spent much time here have you?

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Such a brave post, OP.

 

[Randomizor]

You mean like when the Hawks had a couple of players out from suspensions and subsequently lost games?

Interesting POV... hmm... I remember when Melbourne lost to Geelong by 186 points. I guess I should have really acknowledged how tremendously brave that was.

Sometimes it's not an excuse, but a reason.

You're kidding yourself if you think the Gold Coast should view themselves as a bottom 2-3 team when they lost Ablett, Swallow, Bennell, Prestia, Martin, O'Maera, Dixon and a bunch others. That's pretty much their best 7 players.

Take Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis, Burgoyne, Roughead, Rioli and Gibson out of Hawthorn at the same time, plus a heap of depth and role players, and they aren't winning many games.

Since its only 1 or 2 people, you may as well name them....

Seriously, if THIS infuriates you, I have pity.

you do know AFL is just entertainment? gone are the days where passion and tribalism was the driving force.

 

[go team]

I don't see a problem with supporters using excuses or getting ahead of themselves. It's not like we are the ones actually out there on the field.

Poor excuse

Lol. Why does everyone want to simplfy the world into 1s and 0s. The world is full of Gray.

Hawks were losing games without Hodge and Lewis earlier in the season IIRC.

Threads pretty much done its dash. Started wobbly, got a run against it from opposition, full time now and lost.

A brave loss though

 

[YES! YES! YES!]

Greece's refusal to accept their most recent bailout package was a brave loss.

Losing is unacceptable! Ok, but well um, you do know that to have someone win, someone must ...lose!

Up to 50% of sporting teams wordwide lose on any given day

Agreed. There's no such thing as a 'brave loss'. The footy community really shits me sometimes.

Disagree - Adelaide losing first game after coaches untimely death - I call it brave that they were even able to play.

Respect. And good win today.
