Chapter 1: What insights does Adam Simpson share about team performance?
Now, back to Whiteley.
I'm glass half full. We give ourselves opportunities to win games of football. We're in it. We've got some young players that are gaining great experience to play in those tight games now. We're not finishing it off. We had a training this week where we worked on our scenario play. Probably worked on more protecting the lead like last week. But our whole game needs work. And
You know, like each week we're working on more of our game and we've got to continue to do that. We've got to continue to find ways of getting better.
Between the lines, I especially enjoyed listening to Josh Carr's press conference after Port's fourth close loss of the season through the prism of Adam Simpson's no one's more disappointed in defeat than Josh Carr. Is he really glass half full?
Well, let's listen to this.

Chapter 2: What strategies are discussed for improving game outcomes?
Tonight were horrible. You know, the first half especially, trying to be too cute with the footy. The conditions obviously were slippery. Had opportunities to get inside 50 and put them under pressure when we didn't. Searched for the handball at times when we didn't need to. Just a, yeah, a really bad night.
You can't go like that forever. Can't go 10 years being not disappointed after every loss, especially the close ones. No, no, because there's nowhere to go once you get real bad. And, yeah, I know we're all monotone coaches. The feedback I've got in the media is can you give a bit of night and day in your talk and your voice and in the press conference review that no one has, but if you did one.
Um, just reflect on that glass, Kari. Just, um, just, uh, yeah, a little bit more positivity in the, in the, uh, when you walk into, cause when you walk to the press conference, you got your media manager, you go, right, what's going on? You know, what, what, and it's, oh, well, then, you know, something happened in the game and this, this, and this, and. And you go, okay, what's my messaging?
And you're thinking about who am I talking to? Well, I want to talk to my players in this press conference and also I want to give a bit of optimism with the supporters as well. So I'll find the balance. His first sentence is, we were horrible. You can say that.
Chapter 3: How does Josh Carr respond to criticism after close losses?
He's honest. I think you know exactly where you stand with Kerry. That's one thing I've learned. You know exactly where you stand and winning is his expectation.
Yeah, well, I think that was more around the first half with what that looked like and stuffed around with the footy, went backwards rather than going at the game and especially with the conditions in the handle, it could have been better.
There's not much between the lines there.
