Being selfless

Does anyone remember our mantra in 2021?

Oliver was awarded the most selfless player in our drought breaking premiership year.

We talk about culture and i think the core to that is, as a collective being selfless.

People who don't aspire to that within the club whether the CEO or a Norm Smith medalist aren't part of the future.

ANB made a career playing a selfless role and I hope he does well elsewhere.

Max spends his weekends visiting young ruckman on our list demoted to the amatuers to go and show support. He had a baby with his lovely wife and takes Oliver in to live with them because he is going through a rough patch.

We have others like Fritsch who is a brilliant footballer but doesn't have a selfless bone in his body.

We need to get back to what made us great and that was being selfless.

How to we become more selfless again?

    How is Fritta selfish?

    I said he is not selfless.

    Chasing, tackling, corelling or putting defensive pressure on would help his team mates more.

    As well as better skilled players, we have to recruit culture setters as a priority, after the loss of Gus, ANB and BBB. I’m not sure who that is, but it is so crucial to provide an environment for all of our young guns to thrive, otherwise they too will be looking elsewhere.

     

    Time to put our laissez faire, amateur club days behind us.

    ”Not a selfless bone in his body”

     

    Translates to being selfish.

    The topic is good sentiment, however these things ebb and flow in any team and throughout every season. 

    In terms of Fritsch, I remember there were moments where he burnt team-mates in 2021 but he was at the peak of his confidence and he back himself to kick goals. I reckon he's worked on peripheral vision and passes a lot more now.

    I think this year he passed more because he was lower on confidence. The last game, he was running towards goal 35 metres out and tried to pass a 15 metre kick across his body and it dribbled on the ground where that would of been his bread and butter before.

    They are polar opposites but i am not going to call Fritta selfish.

    I just don't think he is selfless and puts everything on the line for the team first.

    Semantics and you are not fooling anyone who doesn’t have an agenda or anger against the club right now.

    I hope this isnt another thread to say nasty things about Fritta.  (And hands off Turner btw)

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
