Message: [QUOTE="abashii, post: 3186929, member: 8686"] I wouldn't want to declare certain players guilty of wilfully playing poorly to get rid of Pies and avenge the ghost of coaches past. There seems to be a drive, not just in the Seibold supporters or Bennett's boys or even in the wacky White-whisperer but in all of us, to just ascribe motivations from afar with no knowledge of any of the details and just assume it to be true because it's what we want to hear. Who wouldn't want it (whether the it in question is our 2020 spoon or defensive shitness or allegedly fucked salary cap or any of the other problems we face going forward) to be the result of someone's deliberate choices so we can root that person out, punish them appropriately and then march forward together in gloriously harmony to a gloriouser premiership or three. Much better that than being the result of an exceedingly complex web of multiple actors and factors and semi-random events we're ultimately at the mercy of, lacking the detailed knowledge to even get to the source of our woes let alone right them. I mean it's absolutely possible high performance professional athletes, some of whom had their careers on the line, just decided **** it I'll play terribly to get revenge for Wayne, in the same way that it's absolutely possible I'll win powerball. And how easy would that be to solve, we can just pile blame upon Milford or Boyd or Macca or next week's flogging boy and then when they've shot through it'll all be sweet. It doesn't really bear with my experiences in life though. [/QUOTE]
