If after 1 full off season and 17/18 rounds of of footy hasler still have that much control over the team, shouldnt the current coaching staff question the lack of influence they have over the team? Players dont have faith in them?You ever hear of the Stockholm syndrome..
I liken Haslers affect on the team to the Stockholm syndrome.
Hasler was the captor which denied them the opportunity to think freely.. and now when things become difficult they just revert back to what their brains remember to be safe.
The best sports psychologist in the world couldn't untangle the mess he created..
You've completely missed the point.. but selective reading is quite prevalent in the kennel.. there is zero signs of the players giving up on pay.. they fight for every game.. there's plenty of signs of inexperience, self doubt and inability..If after 1 full off season and 17/18 rounds of of footy hasler still have that much control over the team, shouldnt the current coaching staff question the lack of influence they have over the team? Players dont have faith in them?
No not comfortable at all@dogwhisperer are you still comfortable thinking that our coaching isn't a major issue going forward?
Seriously ... we need to start making some calls fast. Get someone like Mcguire, or shit even Hasler... but some established coach to sit with Pay and act as a coaching consultant.
The first thing they can help with is writing Penna and Anotellis retrenchment letters.
He brought priest over and has refused to drop him even though he gives away stupid penalties and makes fuck all metres and cant wrap up the fucking ball in tackles after every single game.Priest...ISP standard
He was hired because he said “bulldog DNA...culture...”Who knows why the old board hired pay, many of us here likes the old bulldog coming back. Who knows if pay can coach, is it his ability to develop young kids. But I tell you this, pay has walked into a mother fucker of a position. No doubt Anderson told him we a blowing this squad up and taking the pain now all at once. Foran is experienced half but couldn't steer this team around. We were a unbalanced team for years but dessies negative plans kept us in the games. Pay wants to play footy but hasnt got the cattle, with an old n stale roster. I have watched plenty of old halves and like many here can see what we are doing wrong, side ways , to many settles , going to edges off a slow play the ball with denting the middle. But you know what, I seen that in origin over the years and this year as well. Just saying
Cant rule out Furner there after leaving the cows after he helped them win a premiership.Souths finished behind us last year and yes they have a far better roster than us, but look how much Seibs has brought to the team both on and off the park.. I'm really concerned about what we're going to get next year given we are still playing Desball under a new coach
And that is solely on Pay...each week that he continues to pick him...cant blame the previous idiots and it's one of the reasons for the eroding of Pay's standing with members and supporters unfortunately.He brought priest over and has refused to drop him even though he gives away stupid penalties and makes fuck all metres and cant wrap up the fucking ball in tackles after every single game.
Roses are RedNow, I'm not saying this is a shot at pay or that he follows anything in this post in his playbook, or it's what he's trying to teach, its just last night brought back some awful memories. this post probably doesn't even belong here but I didn't see any point of creating a new thread.
it's a song I just made up (apologies in advance, it's pretty bad)
Desball it's so mentally ingrained
Makes me go insane tactics always stay the same
Desball
Desball, hitting it up from one out,
Desball makes me wanna scream and shout
Desball
Desball that's what his game was all about,
Desball.
Desball players always standing flat
desball focusing only on the stats
Desball
Desball just refuse to make that change
Desball turns most of the players lame, it's Desball
Desball, Surrendering on the fifth,
Desball doesn’t teach them how to kick
Desball
Desball old problems seem to stick
It's Desball
I'm aware of how awful that was. But i just had it in my head and was bored, clearly it shows I put no effort or thought into it
