Something to remember for all of those blogging members whinging and whining about our potential grinding approach to football for the blue and golds next year. Razzle Dazzle is for hollywood and even there it brings down the most flamboyant generally in a blazing heap. So on reflection we have compiled a solid attacking highlights reel in patches over the last two or three years, running the gauntlet and living on the attacking edge, how frustrating to watch a game plan consisting of offloading for the sake of it, kicking dead and looking for Jarryd when nothing seems to work out.
The outcome of this apart from some individiual brilliance is to have an empty trophy cabinet and effectively get beaten by teams that play a grinding relentless style on us. Football is about rolling up your sleeves under adversity, it is a tough combat sport that requires discipline it makes no sense in terms of success to go away from the fundamental values we look for in players and not respect the same principals within our game plan.
I for one have been waiting for some light to appear in the tunnel of frustration as a parra supporter. We expect from hindy this no comprising starch filled approach but we then congratulate the show ponies for not respecting the effort that is mistake free field position.
Bring on the grind for it is the core principal of football, roll up the sleeves and rip in winning is the reward not how good you looked in highlights reel, whats everyone whining about all go and no show is fine with me.
