Nearly 20 years ago my Dad lamented anyone writing about the actual game, and it’s only gotten worse since then.

Semi finals 2022: Cleaning dog hair off the couch games

I know! Have noted a few prominent posters absence from the ARC appeal and similar threads regarding the ARC fiasco. Gunna channel some Kipling.
In pretty sure a very knowledgeable poster was pointing to the Dees early success this year as evidence that club culture is fictitious or irrelevant. I wonder if they still think that.
Atta boy.

SEN already going after Berry and the incident with Oliver.
There are going with ‘eye gouging, raking”.
Cornes” he got my eye, got my eye”- Oliver was saying. But he back peddled and said a fine is sufficient.
Obviously Hodge fighting the fight.
Brayshaw copped a week is what they are going with.

This.
Every close loss is a combination of luck and what you do. Same with close wins and for us lions missing a sitter late and even against Carlton a goal review went out way. Umpiring with Adelaide and Sydney crucified us. Off field timing of events is another luck factor - Dusty’s dad and Shai’s impending parenthood…
The human brain grasps for black and white cause and effect thinking and the media happily provide it but there are myriad of things going on. I think Richmond do a great job looking to stick to a process and rewarding actions/behaviours that honour that process and seeking to have fun on the way without overly focusing on the outcome during that journey.
Love it
I‘m casually mentioning to Melb supporters that May is a good judge of character - and has been proved right in relation to Melksham
It gets them fired up whichever side they take.
Nah if I’m channeling Cornes it must be all the 7 year contracts they’ve given out…
He's had prior opportunity by trying to shake the tackle so he must dispose of the ball via kick or handball immediately upon being tackled. He didn't.
If you mean me I said after the restaurant thing they were making the case for me and they have continued to do so.
Last year they were a bunch of jerks who won the flag because they are good footy players and they had a couple of excellent players who played exceptionally. This year they were still a bunch of jerks who didn't play footy as well so they lost.
How good you are at footy is the key to success, not some mythical magic elixir called culture.
Yeah, I hate Geelong, mainly the people there at present, never hated the club.
But the way Sydney just blew Melbourne off the park was more impressive than the way Geelong willed themselves to beat Collingwood.
It is close but it is not just about who is better, it is also about who has the game plan to beat their opponent. I reckon Sydney has the game to beat Geelong. Geelong also has the game to beat Sydney but I just get the impression Sydney are building while Geelong hit their level a while ago and are maintaining that level. There is always the factor of whether Geelong will wipe out one of Sydney's players, they have form, but I reckon Sydney are looking good at the moment.

Ohhhh I'd love that to happen.....however, the Cats being rolled in another GF would be even better!
So you mean the Dees arent as good at footy this year than they were last year? or even 3 months ago?
and that a culture that breeds humility cant correlate to a culture that breeds hard work, and likewise a culture that breeds arrogance cant lead to complacency and selfishness, and perhaps not working so hard? or that a culture that breeds arrogance cant lead to player disliking each other, arguing during games, and perhaps not having their heads in the right place when the going gets tough?
Yep, Petracca, Gawn, Oliver all battling injuries, McDonald not in the side at all. Others just struggling for form.
Is it your contention they had a great culture last season and then they turned into jerks?
No, I would say that maybe their talent allowed any issues to be ignored, and their arrogance maybe wasnt as strong last year as they werent reigning premiers.
as is often said it is very hard to win one premiership, let alone multiple, and a lot needs to go right. i cannot see how off field culture cannot be a factor in training efforts and in injury and rehab management. i also cannot see how a closeness of a group can be ignored contributing to whether those players do everything they can to make their teammates succeed.
