He'd always go back to their rooms post game to try his hand at winning a meat tray.

The meat tray raffle is rigged. It is always rigged.



I can explain how to do it if you want.

There's a weird kind of joy and freedom in playing for a team that gets pumped every week at local level I reckon.

Reckon our blokes know this feeling very well

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Shananan looks very slow.

Even Clarko confirmed that the players are upbeat after getting done by 100.

Vlastuin is exactly what we could down back. Not that he's available.

I played a game on a ground that looked like that once.

It was pretty annoying. And it was up north so it was in March and warm weather. It'd be so much worse in winter.

Fremantle Oval a mud hole.
Hayden Sloithe still clean in third quarter

Might as well say this here - I love how people appalled at hearing the players aren’t miserable appear to think the alternative is that they are yelled at and sick about losing and this miraculously leads to winning. I think the more likely alternative is we move into Fitzroy death throes with any decent players moving on as soon as they can. It’s a bloody miracle they can keep looking for and finding positives and a credit to the people around the club who keep spirits up.

People want them to be angry about it not miserable.

So they play angry. Which is what they need to do.

The resignation of defeat is just the sign of how deplorable the standards at our once great club have fallen to.

Do they though? You sustain being angry all week and that’s what changes how you play? what happens next week? We want them to have our feelings but this is their job, and if the club is a negative place to work they’ll work somewhere else if they have options.

I'll ask him the next time I spot him at Bunnings. That is, if I can interrupt him strutting around so all of the women can say "Hi Dermie" to him.

Saw him in the Franga Bunnings paint section strutting around and being very “look at me” knob.

 

[nelroo]

Cooked.

You don't have to be angry all week. But you need to be upset about what happened.

You need anger to fuel your response to a game like that because you need to lift your intensity after a game like that even if you were one of the few good players in the side that week.

I don't mean a situation where everyone at the club is angry with each other. The players need to be angry about what happened and that anger should drive their resolution to fight harder for every contest and work harder at their game during the week. Anger isn't a good emotion when its uncontrolled and let loose but when its used to drive determination and focus or helps intensity on field then its good. Use it to aid motivation when something is lacking.

Same in non footy contexts.

Unforcused uncontrolled anger can cause some ****ed up outcomes but when its focused and directed or used as energy for a positive reaction then its a healthier situation and more likely to be a better outcome.

I've seen him there a few times and your description is 100% spot on.

Strutting laps and chatting with all of the women who work there.

 

[krakouers]

How many millions spent to redevelop?

[JGreezy]

The players should be passionate if they expect the fans to be passionate
