The power of "Us Against the Rest of the World"

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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
