Woke up this mornin feelin’ like I’d swollowed a truck tyre. Sick day rite So what do ya do Youtube. Down rabbit hole I went. Walsh highlights. All electric runs the sidesteps that just make ya go “how’d he do that” Pure footy. Jus what I needed.
Then I logged onto old socials. And BANG. Headlines “Could ruin his career”. “Broncos might stifle his flair”. My blood pressure just went thru roof, swear ta god. Spat me cold tea out. Who wrights this garbage?!
Ruin him RUIN HIM?! What they on about. This lads got more tallent in his pinky then most of these jounos got in theyr hole brain. Every time a young gun come along the media just gotta start this rubbish. They put ’em on a pedestal then they kick it out from under em the secon they stub there toe. Its like my old junior coach trying to teach us “systems.” Mate just kick ball run hard. We ended up losing by fifty point most weeks cos he overthought everything.
This aint sum science experiment this is footy. You get a bloke like Walshy you give him ball and you get out of his way. They wanna turn him into sum robot that plays the percentages thats how you get bland boring footy. Thats how you get Origin 2023 where everyone just played safe. Still salty bout that by the way. I saw Alfie Langer buying socks at Kmart once jus socks. He dint look streesed. He wasnt overthinkin his sock game. Jus bought em. Footy shood be like that. Simple.
Everyones an exspurt now. Use to be you just played game. Now its analytics and “high performance pathways.” Whats that even mean. It means theyll tell him to pass when he shood step or kick when he shood run. Its like when they brought in those new forklifts at the wearhouse. Supposedly more efficient. All they do is brake down give me the old clunker any day. It just worked!
Theyll put so much pressure on this kid he wont be able to breath. Let him play footy let him make mistakes. Thats how you learn thats how you get better. You dont get better by sum bloke in a soot tellin you to “minimise risk.” Get outta hear with that noise. The games about risk its about a bit of chaos. Thats why we watch it not to see blokes playing chess out there.
Right thats it. Need to go punch sumthing soft. Like a pillow this hole thing makes me wanna kick my TV.
