And if I wanted to watch young men poncing around hugging each other and jumping in the air and and kissing, I'd go to the ballet. Not only are they better at it, most of them are better looking too.

Very good point, you can't fake it, it has to come from the heart, I think you're missing my point though.

Say you're a young kid playing in our back line, you're involved in a scoring movement, the goal kicker just gives a high 5 or 2, doesn't smile or show any passion, doesn't make an effort to acknowledge the hard work done up the field to create the goal, how would you feel?
Now say they made a semi big deal of it, acknowledging everyone in the chain, would that make that young back-mid walk taller during the next contest? That is what I'm saying, we don't do that, at least not enough, passion is contagious, instead we have Elliot and Beams who don't seem excited enough to give a bloody high 5, it's a team sport, unless you take the ball out of a centre bounce and kick the goal without a Shepard the goal isn't yours.
Passion is what makes players walk taller, it creates adrenalin. |
Barge would often run down the ground to pat the each back line players on the back for setting up the goal that he had just kicked.
And because he was a slow hobbling run coming back he had becareful not to enter the centre square but run around the wing of it because the umpire was about to bounce the ball.
The odd occasion the ball beat BT back to our own forward line , as our mids got it quick out of the centre.

It may have to do with when a player kicks a goal they head straight to the bench rather than riding high and trying to get another one straight up like Dids did a few years back and kicked 3 in a minute.
This is the best lift any team can hope for .
Unsure why this happend across the league?

Team spirit is not high at the moment. Elan is not on Buckley's agenda I think.

They should follow Sidey's approach and smile at everything. But seriously, enough of the players do show emotion after a goal. Sure, a few like Beams are more Mark Waugh reserved types but generally there is a fist pump and acknowledgement, especially for/from the younger players. While it good to see Hird run to the crowd and hug a supporter that can backfire a bit like when Hawkins tried to do the same thing and had trouble finding a lone supporter in a nest of opposition fans.

No-one complained about Didak's celebrations. Such things can get the team up and gets the crowd going also.
When we were playing at our recent peak in 2010 and 2011, it was a regular occurance. I'm not surprised by that.

Yeah, on the wane since 2012... not sure about the significance of the timing though! |

As a supporter, I would much rather celebrate a goal myself than stressing about the goal kicker doing his stuff  |
