Saw a snippet of a video from the Australian dressing rooms during a World Cup. Warner was saying how he was scared to go for his shots for fear of getting put. Punter immediately jumped in and said how you need to go for your shots without any any fear of getting out from a mistake, back in your skills and training. He said the minute you think like that (scare) you're gone and it gets worse. He went on to talk about how they didnt have the World Cup so there was nothing to lose.
Point is, our blokes must have that same mentality, take it on, dont be scared to make mistakes, stay positive and back yourself in.
I thought it was a brilliant clip of Ponting, what a leader.

Need some fans to comprehend this mindset because as much as the players understand it the fans pile on the pressure

Voss has done it again and pushed cripps forward after half time and its hurting us around the ball. Dumb Dumb Dumb
There's another game in 5 days.

That being said, when your opposition has kicked 5 goals in a quarter we should have played keep ball, instead chesser makes a shallow forward entry, turnover they go end to end and get another.

This is why we are struggling.  If we have the ball we cant concede.

Figure it out ffs.  Im up in the stand and can feel the momentum shift and realise we need to take the sting out of the game.  Instead our geniuses play fast.  Why?  Momentum is king.  When you dont happen the ball will punish you.

I can't speak for the type of work undertaken in adut prisons but in the juvenile system....

For up to 16 year olds school was compulsory.
Older than that, they had the choice between school and 'work party'.
The numbers were pretty much an even split with this group...many chose the work party option.
Some chose a flexible attendance...e.g three days school, two days work
Work party duties consisted of things like gardening, mowing, cleaning common areas... and for those eligible, community service activities outside the centres.
It was hardly 'chain gang' stuff.

I think it’s similar up here Lods, the adult inmates are generally pretty happy to be out mowing and whippersnipping
