That's never really worked. It never worked on me and I never went off at any player in the sheds. Even these days half time talks are more constructive and more about pointing out things that could be done better or changed. The idea is to build an esprit de corp amongst players so that they themselves know what to do and what could be done better before and after the match. Yelling means you don't know your players or your game plan properly.

the article is firewalled but I get the gist the writer is expressing but I agree with you EZ.
Having been in very tteams as player and been on coaching assistance levels leter years - "screaming" ? cheez yer nope, good manager knows how to express with his/her troops and at good levels even players know where they error or are exposed.
Talks together at HT doesn't need screaming but good constructive criticism and encouragement.
 
Anyone see German cup this morning? Crazy scenes
no didn't watch but read an article, as good as the Plymouth cup win but worse for Xabi they were L3.
Good on them the miracle of cup football.

Well that's work as well.

Talking to the old supervisors on sites and they've all evolved from the old screaming and swearing at people. They either evolved to the new conditions or they've been moved on.

Probably not a bad thing.
 
Some home truths here re who broadcasts - how the media run us and the game.
As much as I luv my football the politics the $$$’s and MCG’s slogan the suits are taking us down paths that are ruining the beautiful game as Les used to call it !

Some very true good points by the minister !

There was no “unified purpose [or] proposal” from the whole of the game, she said

Wells argued that the game’s splintered governance and administrative model - a national body, nine state and territory bodies, and since 2020, a separate professional league - created confusion and competing interests.

“At the moment, my experience — as a new, incoming sports minister — has been [that] everybody comes in with their individual pitch, even if it directly clashes with the individual pitch of the next state over, or with the code that shares the stadium, and they just leave it for us to sort out,” Wells

Whilst we keep having more so the APL run its course good luck to them and the major majority below all not aligned it just doesn’t make sense and I agree as a business owner myself why would you even bother looking at proposals whilst the game itself has us vs them.
Fark in mess
Something got to give fellas and more so its you apl and followers for the game end and its growth that keeps growing is right under your feet.
 
Whilst I agree the administration of our game has been fragmented in the past I give credence to those at the top of football who are laying concrete foundations for the approach to governments. This type of approach is spelling it out clearly how far behind some other sports football is in government funding.
It deserves our strongest support.
