Demons still a danger: Johnson
“If I specifically talk about the players, I’d like to see our players get angry,” he said.
“Sometimes what happens with our player group – they start feeling sorry for themselves. We as a group of coaches and players have got to start getting angry when we lose – angry at each other, angry at the coaches and angry at the players – and get angry and get really fired up for the next week.
“That’s something that we’ll really look to address in the off-season as a coaching group, but I’d love to see the players get angry and come out and play angry on the weekend.”
Roos said the team needed to stop worrying if it was going to win or lose each week.
“I think it’s also getting away from the fear of winning or losing,” he said.
“What we’ve really got to continue to focus on – and I know it’s an old footy cliché – but probably never more true than at this football club is: the process.
