Roast Someone mute the broken record please.

DANGER: "Look, we addressed it after the game. We said 'Good win, enjoy it - for 10 minutes' basically. But to really earn respect from the competition and to play consistently good footy, we really need to win next week against Freo.

Quite frankly I heard this in 2010 and it was bullshit. I heard it in 2011 and it was bullshit, I heard it again in 2013 after numerous wins that kept us mathematically possible to play finals, again it was bullshit. It's not the first time this year i've heard this psychology either.

They set themselves up for a fall and fail every time, soft draws aside.

For once mean it or never say it again. Maybe stop trying to get respect and concentrate on improving your game every week. You've played finals once in half a decade. You don't deserve respect.

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

Honestly...what do you expect them to say? Do you really think they'd prefer to come out and make these statements?

It's not like they willfully put forward these thoughts to non existent questions. They're forced by media to answer the same questions each week - there's only so many ways you can spin the same thing over and over again...

I've seen the same thing 3 out of the last 4 season and already this year. I think they actually believe it and their fears are playing out in reality. Sometimes you just got to go with patterns.

 

[Cap]

But the statement is true regardless of the outcome.

Well, whats he gonna say, "Great win boys, lets hit the piss"!!!????

Seriously, its what you expect him and Sando to say!!

They have to become more consistant. Its as simple as that!!

Speaking your mind worked well for Jack Riewoldt

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

strange thread

 

[Mego Red]

The world needed this thread. I don't think we knew that EVERY sportsman in the world came out with these same statements when they're asked the same garbage questions.

 

[cmndstab]

Of all of the issues our club has at the moment, this ranks somewhere near the bottom.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I don't put much stock in what the players say but Danger is right. They won't win respect until they show some consistency.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Perhaps Danger should concentrate on his kicking

 

[Dirty Bird]

I thought we already had the respect of the competition.

Just have next to no respect from the public.

 

[moogerfooger]

you can always hit the mute button yourself. seriously, who listens to footballers or even coaches any more? its the same "yeah, nah", "one week at a time", "we'll learn from that" cliches that have been around since the dawn of time.

 

[Dirty Bird]

fwiw - Am I the only person who's football life involves.
A) Watching games
B) Discussing on BigFooty?

I don't listen to radio.
I don't read the news paper.
I don't watch foxfooty outside of the games.

 

[little graham]

The record players still turning. Resilient thing. Todays result means nothing. Until we start beating sides that can stand up for themselves (carlton,essendon ect)


Before you beta up on me, I saw all this 20 years ago. I remember well, especially the mentality that broke it.

We're heading for a big fall.

 

[King Elvis]

We are a mentally weak football team - can't be disputed.

I'd like to know what we are doing to address it.

What programs have we put into place?
What experts have we contracted to rectify it?

Bang.

Edit - Could've picked a photo where he doesn't look like bursting into tears though

 

[little graham]

They also brought in Darren Lehman this weak. This can be only be good. He has an understanding of life in Adelaide. That bloke has the gift of the gab, is successful at the highest level of sport. I rate international cricket the highest level of any sport. There is no more even playing ground, there is no sport where your weaknesses get found out like they do in cricket.The most mentally demanding of all contact sports.

 

[Iron]

All I know is I'm sick of tuning in to Sando's presser every week and seeing him actually talk about the game. Broken record, much? What's his favourite colour? What's his pet of choice?

I think we have different concepts of what a contact sport is.
