Hickey: Kookaburras - the chokers of the ages

Grinder · 08-09-2012, 06:41 PM

FFS: this team could teach Greg Norman and the All Blacks something about choking. Seriously, you can not play in a game like Hockey and blame it on luck 11 times. They must have a terrible burden on their shoulders because they were unstopPable in the group matches and against the ****s.

Poor bastards. I feel for them but they definitely need a different mental preparation. What does Charlsworth tell them before they go out to the semis "don't choke, don't choke"

Ha ha. Back to topic mate, they did come up against a red hot german team. That overhead pass into the circle that was nearly a goal, was unfknblvbl!

Maybe they've only got one gear. Or they are only capable of smashing easy beats. Or they aren't used to being in a pressure situation?

They didnt play all that well in the group stages at all

They drew with Argentina & were up 3-1 against the poms & ended up 3-3, they had some good wins but they were hot & cold, that last win against p@kistan i thought theyd turned the corner

considering the huge numbers of men that play RL, AFL, soccer, union etc, in a small country. to be worlds best constantly is pretty good. just cause rthey cant make it happen every 4 years doesnt mean shit.

Didn't deserve to win simple as tgat

Grinder · 08-10-2012, 04:21 AM

Theyve been number one in the world for the last four years. They have every major trophy right now apart from the Olympics.

I think the biggest choker in our team is Magnussen, he talked him self up and pissed his pants when the time came to do it.

It was a complacent Aussies in London.

The Opals had the mentality that a close loss to the USA in the Womens
basketball is good enough - and thats a mentality they need to change.
A loss is a failure, plain and simple, the game was there to win.

Our swimmers were complacent, one only had to have a glance at Lumbering
Liesell Jones before the Olympics!

Sally Pearson runs the right mentality, she sets the bar and believes that its her
medal to lose - whereas others Aussies. are just happy to turn up for whatever reason.

Weren't Germany favorites for the gold?
On another note, I think a previous poster on these boards (MSTR) used to play Jnr Hockey at national level. just saying.

Or as i like to call him - Maggotson or Mythile

What about Darcy?

Karma took a few years to catch up with him but it finally did.

Absolute grub, doing what he did, never apologising for it and then crying bankruptcy to get out of paying compensation for it.
