The positives thread

[a mayes ing]

I think the problem is we have been bottom 5/6 every year and gotten a pick around 6 every year. We havent actually bottomed out like the Saints last year, got the pick 1 and got the big hulking forward in McCartin we could have used.
I read an article saying we are the only team without an established forward or a hyped up young one.

We actually do have quite a few forwards on our list but they are all too young or low quality.

Does that fact that our percentage is not below 50% count as a positive?

I haven't watched much AFL this year other than our games and hadn't kept track of which teams hadn't won a game yet.

We're winning the spoon atm, we can only over take teams on the ladder
Our percentage can't get much worse.

That sounds like a challenge

This isn't very positive?

On a positive note I have realised that your avatar is a Lion not just a colourful piece of abstract art

That was our best second quarter of the year.

Clarke and Gardiner are bloody good defenders!! (as i say that Clarke just got HDB on the goal line....)

 

[jjami15]

Am I wrong but did our % improve

Dunno
Can't face looking at the ladder

 

[Panthera]

As long as they develop the correct way, Cutler and N. Robbo should be fine players for us long term

51 possessions between them first up

 

[jackess]

Am I wrong but did our % improve

Yeah it would have

 

[knaf]

At least if we are getting flogged, we are playing kids like NRobbo and Cutler who may improve us in the future.

 

[Viceregal]

We went from 51.4 to 52.3 for a 0.9 percent increase (at this rate we will break even in round ... 57

Really liked Golby's game. Looked every bit the player we hoped he would develop into back in 2012/13. Has reinvigorated my hope for his career. After weeks of our senior players not being able to handle the footy, it was refreshing to have Golby seem composed. His disposal was back to a good level too.

Cutler's performance is something to get really excited about I think. His ability to open the game up suits the type of footy we're trying to play to a tee, and he provides such great run off half back. Once he fixed up his disposals he was our best out there, I thought.

And then Robertson. Well, I had concerns for him after his few games last year that he might be too crash and bash with no finesse. Was very impressed by him today. Similarly to Golby and Cutler, the word composure comes to mind. Also was one of very few who you'd back to win a contest on the ground or in the air. His strength is a real asset.

Those three have all proven why they got a run, and will hopefully build on very promising first up performances for the year.

As for the rest, Martin was his usual self, Clarke stood up more than ever, and D Beams finally started to find a bit of space. Rich was pretty good too.

Clarke, Andrews and McStay. Really good KP prospects.

 

[acuguy]

Cutler, Robertson and big Stefan Martin

 

[Cousin Jed]

Only 18 games left.

 

[radiotron]

More N. Robertson love here.

 

[HowYouDoin]

Our Guernsey actually looked better with the yellow side panels. Would love it on our Guernsey permanently

 

[MacMum]

Agree, looked spectacular.

 

[T Factor]

More N. Robertson love here.

I loved the fend offs and they he can now break tackles, that really helps his disposal, looked a lot better today than last year.

 

[lionbear]

Positive for me:

We can start planning what we are going to do with the number 1 draft pick.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Massive Robertson fan. He is going to be really good for us. His haircut choice is poor though.
