Is that not more reason why we shouldn't try and second guess motivations - since we have absolutely nothing to base it on?

I agree 100 per cent with Liz here.We see the product of our team for just over 100 minues of the week when we go out to battle.
We don't know what is happening for the rest of the week,who is carrying what injuries and who has personal problems.
I guess we are very judgemental but all we are asking for is our boys to come out and play a good match each weekend,not even Hawthorn can do that.

I haven't seen/heard any of the game due to the past emotionally draining weekend but just saw Meredith's goal on a footy wrap and it was SEROIUSLY amazing. It was inside the centre square and his hair was productless indicating rain and sailed over BBB's head.

Now that's a positive. It's not often someone jumps out of their seat at 7am on a Monday..it was such a good goal

I think Meredith's wet-weather disposal is, after 2 games, already better than Jude's dry-weather disposal!!

(Not knocking Jude as I love the way he plays and he never gives up)

I agree, I think infractions should be handed out for that. I've given up correcting people, but it still gets up my nose.

Do you still want me to wash behind my ears!

Thanks Mum!

As always, context provides many clues about motivation given observed behaviour. i.e. chicken eats food - judgment 'chicken is motivated by hunger'. That's a pretty valid attribution of motivation based on behaviour, albeit not of a human.

In a human context, this is the distinction between ideographic and nomothetic methods. A nomothetic interpretation would use applied motivational theory to impute motivation from behaviour. He ceased going to work (context he was not being paid). Conclusion, the expectation of reward for effort ceased to apply with a consequent losss of motivation.

More broadly, Ernest Dicher, a founder of motivational research showed oin the 50s how motivational theory can be used to understand behaviour (and in turn, manipulate it). Ultimately, Dichter and others of his ilk would say behaviour is the expression of motivation and therefore it is valid to seek to understand motivation by observing behaviour in the context of the environment and forces at play.

In a management context, it is quite accepted practice to interpret motivation (or lack thereof) based on observed behaviour and an understanding of the work environment. Heck, HR companies like Towers Perrin et al. do this all the time (often poorly) based on their proprietary models of employee behaviour and motivation. For example, simplistically, if someone is clearly not performing in their job, two things to immediately consider would be motivation and job/role fit.

Having said all that, I agree it is a stretch to conclude that ROK is playing @@@@ because he doesn't really want to be in Sydney. However, to press the point, if he started smoking during quarter time and calling his girlfriend on his iphone from a forward pocket, one would query his motivation and specifically might conclude he would rather be somewhere else given what happened last year. That conclusion would have high degree of face validity.

Uhh!!! It simple laymens terms what does this all mean????

Arrr, no they are not.

Actually that is a pretty good one line summary of the game.
We were one goal down and a bit of momentum at the start of the second quarter, then... Don't know who went on Travis Johnstone after that but they were not half as effective as Crouchy.

Good to see the young fella, back himself, even in the wet.
