So what you are basically saying Goltz, is that it's no problems for a player like Jeffy to pick and choose when he's motivated to put in 100%.
That it's perfectly fine for effort to be conditional.
Synners is right - if that's the mentality of the playing group we really are at ground zero.
Effort comes from motivation. Sure he had a good first year under Malthouse, but what has happened this year. Doesn't look near the player he used to be and other players are down too.
Usually when a coach loses the players, the motivation and intensity drops off. Can't tell me this hasn't already occured in the list.
Bag a player out on media, good move coach

Self regulatory (intrinsic) motivation
The coach only adds the last 10% (if that)...And most coaches will tell you that!
Look at Nick Rievolt. Pavlich. They've played well under all their coaches. They just takes high personal responsibility for their actions on the field. Culture! High Expecttaions! Symbolism! Character!...that's what's also missing at Carlton apart from a terrible list
Do you honestly think Sam Mitchell would play poorly under a different coach?
Find another reason to pot MM. Your last one was weak.
Wow, well done. You named future hall of famers on their approach to the game. It isn't the Judd's and Murphy's you need to worry about, it is your inexperienced and mid level players that the coach has to understand and work out how to get the best out of players under performing. When players are proven to be quality players in previous seasons and they are totally off the ball the next season, the coach needs to work out how to get the player back on track, not just blast them on media and put them in the magoos. Does nothing for team morale or player / coach relationship.
Lets talk Horse racing. Efficient wasn't setting the world on fire before the 2007 melbourne cup. But, the trainer lloyd williams tried a different approach before the race. He got the horse doing hurdles and jumps to re jig the horse mentally from doing the standard preparation for the race. The horse came out, switched on and motivated. The jockey could of whipped the absolute shizen out of the horse and the horse wouldn't of won the race if he didnt change this strategy But, because lloyd changed the training strategy and got the horse switched on with a different mindset, the horse was ready to win the cup.
It is the exact same thing with human beings. If a coach repeats the same things, keeps cracking the whip and stating threats all the time, he becomes a bit old. 18months of that and some players will switch off if your not getting onfield success. If you don't understand how to get the best out of his players, then you won't get results.
I am pretty sure Hinkley has a good solid relationship with his players and knows how to get the best out of them.
Do you think if you put Malthouse at Port Adelaide, Malthouse would even have that team in the top 8?
