Miller - He's Out (pg 25)

[parksey]

Kyle Chalmers's pre-Olympic form meant diddly.
So does our pre-season.

Focusing on winning meaningless games and ignoring the bigger picture - you know, "competition points" - geez that plan sounds brilliant.

Don't agree with this logic at all.

Melbourne Victory or the Wanderers would not be happy losing a game to the Mariners even if it was in pre-season. It just shows a lack of a winning mentality and a poor all-round attitude to brush off these types of results as "meaningless".

Of course we don't get any points out of a game like this but winning is winning, especially when it's against not only a local rival but a team without a coach.
