Right, all of you have been way too harsh on the TMOTF.
I just heard audio of his after game talk to the boys that one of the radio stations picked up.
It went something like this:
Now lads, too many of us have an opinion of ourselves well above our station as AFL footballers. You only have to look at our social media work. Some of us want to act like we are 'elite' players and put ourselves out there when we are really only ordinary playes that should be seen and not heard.
But let's not focus on that let's focus on where we went wrong today. It's not about the skill errors, it's not about the consistently dumb decisions some of us make it's not even about the fact that many of our skills are sub standard.
The most important thing a side needs is leadership and we just don't have enough guys who provide it, guys like me who are prepared to say a few words after a defeat are what we need to develop. There were blokes today who didn't do anything dumb which would lead to them being suspended and that is real leadership!
If we all work on leadership then we will solve all of our problems in one go. If anyone wants to follow up on this inspirational message then it will be available on @danjackson23 as soon as I get back to my mephone.
I, for one am prepared to admit I judged the TMOTF a bit harshly, he is a gun.
