This is one area that concerns me and Beveridge is the master at it.  He can continue to sell this mantra to his players because we're the favourites and Western Australians seem to be going for us.

There's a flaw in the mentality though, it gives the players a small voice in the back of their head that says to them it's okay to lose as they weren't expected to be there anyway

Getting sick of Bevos whining BS TBH.

I prefer Goodwins "Anywhere ... Anytime." mantra myself.

Wont matter.

Bevo bleating about us v them, travel, consecutive games, quarantine etc screams of a lack of confidence.

 

It’s strange this talk of Bevo being this genius coach and creating a narrative. How about finishing top 4 at least once during your career?

Didnt win a final for 5 years After the flag. A poor record with a young high quality team.  
He is a good coach but let’s not get carried away

If we won the flag and dropped away like they did I'd be fuming.
