After the Melbourne win last year I felt gutted but that win was a loss for me. A win is when you are a success - when a victory reduces you chances of future success its no longer a win to me - its meaningless, its a loss.
As the old saying goes - 'Win the battle, lose the war'. Is wins ever meaningless - you bet.
Why would that win feel like a loss? ???
It made no difference to our ladder position or a PP. Close all day. Long bomb goal after the final siren to clinch it. If you couldn't enjoy that win I've got no idea what wins you could enjoy.
Out of interest, what do you do straight after one of these wrongly called meaningless wins?
Actually this is a good point.
You probably can't call them meaningless wins because during and just after the game you want to win/enjoy the win.
They are just not relevant to the team in the way say the Demons wins in the past 12 weeks have been.
So they are not relevant to the team given it is so late in the year and in 2 weeks time the players are on holiday for 6 weeks.
Look at the Eagles - beat us by 80 points in R22 last year, how did that win in any way help them for 2010?
I'd love to win both games and stay 15th but we won't so I hope the Lions win on the weekend and we spank the Power in R22.
