Even the most adventurous of technology adopters would ask the thing to move them from driveway to Street and round the block before doing anything else.
My assumption is that the technology failed or is glitchy because I am yet to experience any one piece of technology that works consistently and without any bugs.
My own car disengages cruise control of its own volition. Im setting that with buttons on my steering wheel at least, and its a 2008 Ford.
Remember the one where the throttle or cruise got stuck on 100 in the territory?
Lets just see how hard to believe that is when the formal investigation is complete.
There was the urban legend of the guy in the US who bought a new Winnebago. While on his first trip he set the cruise control and then left the driver seat to put the kettle on.......and the rest is, well, urban legend.
If you can be bothered, listen to the SEN caller Mick at 31:15. He is onto something. Bob and Andy were discussing Carlton and an Ess support called in saying we have improved. Mick called and gave his perspective. https://www.sen.com.au/programs/sen-drive/
Now Pauly, that is 'what if' thinking. Reality is if one of those points of ours is a goal, it goes back to the centre and a different game commences.
And please do watch what Sellers has to say... it sure aint lazy. What comes across is hurt, not sensationalism, not shock jock, not shallow... but real McCoy hurt that a club he loves so much is floundering so badly. And his solution suggestions have serious merit.
Agreed Baggers, that wasnt a rant by any stretch, he is hurting like many other who have spilt blood for the club.
Tom Williamson needs to be dropped this week and probably delisted unless we see a major improvement. Been a fan since day one but right now he is a major liability and its impossible to have a defender who cant kick on his non preferred foot in some shape or form playing down back. The game is too quick and high pressure to get back on your preferred all the time and you have to be able to hit targets on both feet. You add that to some horrible decision making, plus shaky kicking on his preferred foot and I cant see how he can command a place in our best 22. The sooner Newman is fit and back in the team the better...
And apart from not being able to use his right foot, he has virtually zero awareness and gets caught very often. Shame really, he has a good physique and a decent tank. Maybe he needs to be tried up the ground.
I wonder how we would go against BrisVegas if all 22 played with the work ethic of Walsh, Cripps & Weitering?
Probably a win. I'd go as far to say that we could beat every team if all 22 played with the work ethic of those three. The question is though, how often would all 22 play with the work ethic of those 3?
This one is on the players. Motivation comes from within and ours can't stay motivated for more than a couple of weeks at a time. Club is run pretty well right now. What is needed is real peer pressure to perform. They have to put it on each other. Right now we turn up but don't work. Almost nothing surer we'll win the next couple, even though it's Brisbane, after coping the biggest baking and home truths we've received in years. What happens after that, who knows.
A few contradictions there Jim, we turn up but dont work yet we will win the next few? Dont get that logic. Ill say it again, culture is set from the top down not the bottom up. It's not about motivation, its all about culture, creating and maintaining a ruthless winning one. When CEO, presidents and coaches give the players an out when they speak to the media, that's not a ruthless culture and sets the wrong example for the players. So is our culture bad? I'd guess the answer is not totally. But is it a ruthless winning one? Most definitely not. There also doesn't seem to be any non negotiables, and with that consequences, at our club. If there were, we would not trot out the same roller coaster performances year after year. Then there are skill/execution problems. Ill say this again also, for how many years have we been seeing the same poor skills with disposal and goal kicking? Lots. And we seem to do nothing to address the specific problems (ie bring in specialists to fix the specific issues). If you ask me are out players motivated, I'd say they are as motivated as any player in the comp. Are they well trained and conditioned? I'd say not as well as they could or should be.
