Looks like he pinged a calf in the last quarter
Well yeah. Brisbane followed by winner of Freo or Gold Coast if we lost.
But if we’re going to win, we need to beat the best teams. We failed the first test, three more to go.

Yep, but im not sure we'd have had as much trouble everywhere else.
Winning 3 in a row against the best few teams and coaching groups was always going to be beyond us. Religious adherence to your system will get you into finals. To win 3 in a row you need to be able to adjust and counteract to gain an advantage over your opponent. Continuing with the same system becomes a negative and plays straight into oppo hands. You might get away with a win or 2 on pure talent, but 3 in a row is highly unlikely.

Haven’t we shown we could change (against hawthorn and Collingwood)
Seems like we just shafted ourself with selections then shat the bed.
losing has eliminated the faint hope of getting a retail GF ticket to a crows GF. Looks like the GF vibe I’ll be in Melbourne for will be for a Pies/Cats game. Effing fantastic, won’t be a crows scarf in sight.
Reverting to negative game style when there’s pressure isn’t adjusting to beat your opponent, it’s Nicks’ cowardice overwhelming him.
I reckon you'll get a ticket even with Hawthorn winning although I agree it will be harder than GWS. There will be some fans that won't go this time, plus it's doubled the price of the last final I believe. Unless that's the pre lim that's double.

You talking about the final?
Didn’t we start negatively in the other games?
Now I’m confused, not sure what we’re discussing. I’m saying you need to plan and adjust for opponents and reverting to negative style out of fear isn’t doing that.

I’m saying isn’t that what we did against hawthorn and Collingwood in the minor round after the first qtr?
Interesting tidbits in there. I am a big fan of the one week off for everyone in the middle of the season. Although, I do like the pre-finals bye, rather than pre-GF. Makes the finals series it's own thing, but you'd lose a lot of momentum into the GF with a week off.
I think there is a good chance that both EF winners will make the PF, esp if Fremantle gets through this evening.
Glad Geelong did not stuff up after those two horrible calls, they regrouped and did what good teams do. I think the Cats win it all this season.

We were never beating Collingwood in the QF anyway and possibly never beat them in a final so that means we won't beat them in the GF as well shall the teams rematch which is unlikely. So I think the GF this year is a 2011 rematch.
Going negative is reactive to non in-game pressure, it’s not a strategy designed based on our opponents. They’re not the same thing. What we do is crap our dacks because we’re shit scared of failure and the change benefits our opposition. That’s the opposite of what I’m saying is required.

It feels like though in those two games we just weren’t ready for what the oppo threw at us and we were able to change it up and wrestle back the lead.
I don’t believe the change was us just doing better for longer at what we were doing.

Nicks reverts to negative game style when there’s pressure on.

Yeah, I can't buy in to that, sorry. It sounds a little too conspiratorial. Even if the Tippett thing was unfair to us, we didn't lose all of those players throughout the noughties because of a larger salary cap gifted to other clubs.
Tell me, who out of Gunstan, Tippett, Danger, Lever, Phil Davis would we have kept if we weren't being screwed over in your mind? Plenty of teams lost players to expansion sides, including to Sydney because of COLA.
We tried moving the ball super quick on Thursday night, not sure how thats negative.
We ****ed it multiple times.
