To Review or Not To Review

[Demonland 72,185]

Different circumstances to our 2018 Preliminary Final exit but Geelong forced their players to rewatch their 2019 Preliminary Final loss in particular how they gave up a 21 point half time lead and lost by 19 points.

Of course if they have a horror injury run and slip down the ladder the Scott haters will be demanding he be sacked for destroying the players confidence by making them relive the dire 3rd quarter.

Not sure the players need to review such things,   that's up to the football department,   but the Coaches and FD definitely need to watch and review.

 

Some players might never play to their ability again if their mistakes are highlighted in full company.

Geelong are the most successful club of the decade in terms of win & loss, with Hawthorn and Sydney just trailing. Successful clubs put the spotlight on failure so the necessary people can take responsibility, learn from the experience, and use it as an opportunity to improve.

Weak clubs mollycoddle everyone, especially the players.

We didn't review our 2018 ending, we didn't learn, grow or adapt. We may have had a rough run in 2019 due to injuries regardless, but this is an ongoing trend that is unarguable. We are the 3rd worst club of the decade, below even Carlton! We are a weak club, and we will continue to be until we get serious and start acting more like the Geelongs and Hawthorns of the league.

No, just another thread to allow the hysterics to continue.

Having said that, yesterday we watched a bit of the third quarter, and we analysed it," Hawkins told reporters at a press conference on Tuesday.

So they didn't sit down and review the game in full.

Most likely they were watching it in a context of a game plan scenario:

Richmond have kicked x amount of goals in a row, what can we do to stop it?
Or
Richmond's forward pressure has been immense, how do we retain possession to counter that?

I think the most important thing to remember with reviewing any one game is it takes no more than 2-3 hours to review a game right? And preseason training goes for the best part of 6 months. It's unlikely to provide motivation for a whole preseason. And whilst there might be some important lessons - which coaches really should know before breaking the tape down with the players - one game won't provide as many as the whole season.
