Dave,

Winning isn't everything ... It's more than that!!!

(I'm not sure if that's the quote you were referring to ... but, if not, it should have been)

Actually, while on the subject of quotes, there was a famous racehorse trainer, I think it was Bob Hoysted. One of his top-line horses had just been beaten in a feature race. Reporters asked him if he had any explanation for his horse's failure. His reply:

"Ah, well. Horses are only human."

Spot on, Prez.

MM said many times last year that he's working on the theory that once players have full control and enough skill to properly execute the game plan that it will won most games.

Thus, accept early defeats if it emans sticking to the game plan, so that in the long run we have a team with Essendon-like confidence in their game plan that means they don't panic if the scoreboard is threatening, nor slack off if they are ahead.
