This is the single most insightful and accurate post ive ever read on all my years on Demonland.

The bigger issue is the fact that barring a single season in 2021, our team has been a serial choker for the last 15 years, regardless of who's in charge. we have a culture of failure. Spend less money on coaches, more on psychologists. Clarrys running shot for goal in the last was always going out on the full before he even approached the ball. [censored] scared of failure.

we dont need a rebuild. we just need our team to play with confidence and self belief.

The immediate, instinctive, first impulse of going backwards when we get the pill is driving me [censored] crazy. Can't help but wonder what this list could have done over the past 5 years with a different coaching group...

We are a massive chance today if the rain holds off. we are useless in the wet usually due to overpossession.

27 tackles inside 50 to 4. Mana from heaven.

The issue I can foresee if that we are absolutely terrible at playing football in wet conditions...

If Disco plays round 1 he's got photos of somebody and is threatening to release them to the media.

I wasn't joking. he was missing a hand. making an observation... your life must suck if your worried about that.

I think one of them was missing a hand!!!

Personally I think there's only one thing we need. A mindset which can overcome our worst enemy... which is our fear of losing.

Unfortunately we have a culture of choking when it really matters. Whatever they were drinking in the hub in 2021 created a short term antidote, clearly....

Our gameplan prevents us from having decent inside 50s. Until we start to take brave kicks through the corridor occasionally, we will be too easy to defend against. We are just too predictable.

We've waited a long time to smash Collingwood in a final. This is going to be brilliant.

leading the comp for tackling and tackles inside 50 helps too. we are last for disposal efficiency, amazingly...

Yes I will be. I can share if you need one.

we will win, no crowd advantage

Fear of failure is paralysing our players

Unfortunately they have lost all of the confidence they built up last year. And are playing like it.

Agreed. Trac is the one thats killing us with his negative mindedness and subsequent silliness

HI Deevoted, I'm keen. Team Name: The Legion EDIT: Thanks I'm in Barassi.

Wow. Thanks for enlightening us all ye of great experience and wisdom...

The guy just loves afl footy that much. Kudos to him.

Id be very surprised if Jake Lever didnt captain mfc during his career.

Players like Jesse Hogan want to play at the MCG. Not saying he won't leave, but my bet is it won't be to a Perth club.
