If you don't have sustained intensity, then you have no chance of winning. As Malthouse said, it is all about doing the processes right and playing with full intensity & commitment is the main start of it.
Don't worry about wins, they will come as long as we keep doing the basics.
We've shown enough in the last two weeks to suggest that MM is finally breaking through to the mindset of our playing group.
It's all about cultural change and he is challenging the group, who are responding. We can lose to the Filth, but it's how we fight the battle that will matter.
Once again, it is that mindset that brought our club down. It is not acceptable that Carlton goes into a game with anyone - player, supporter, coach, board member or water joey - thinking that a good effort is good enough.
Ok, so if we lose we just move the deck chairs and make excuses? Even if we play like pussy's?
But if we play like demons possessed and and send chills up our rivals to the final siren that then let them know we are the devils spawn, despite losing. And we shall avenge his death.
Playing like demons possessed should be non-negotiable JK.
If the unthinkable happens and we lose, cold, hard analysis of where we failed should inform remedial measures so that we win the next game.
