The Positives Thread

[Membling]

I will go. The amount of youngsters this year.

 

[The King!]

big positive until he got hurt was Tippett being a superstar

 

[Tedeski]

Positives?
We are testing our depth, blooding more youngsters than any other team in the top 17.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Wow we need to go back to 2013 to find a positives thread?

Wow we need to go back to 2013 to find a positives thread?

There actually was one last year, I bumped the wrong one, we aren't that negative!

(EDIT: Created a new thread)

 

[SilentHunter_]

The fact that we're playing like s**t and still top 4. Meaning that there's plenty of room for improvement.

 

[The King!]

We also have not seen a mass exodus as doomsdayers predicted

 

[RW]

Rohan's game against the Hawks a couple of weeks ago, great to see him stand up in the forward line, it would have done wonders for his confidence.

 

[The King!]

Has rohan got the rod out yet?

I know he was never a big ball winner but if he never got the bad injury i think we would be seeing super consistent 2-4 goal efforts a week

 

[Olian]

Another finals series beckons and we have done so with a younger team (rebuilding on the go).

We are a within good kick at goal of having knocked of the reigning premiers twice for the year.

 

[RW]

Has rohan got the rod out yet?

Not sure, I never heard anything about it.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

8 players aged 22 or under from the team that beat Geelong at Simonds :

Mills 19yrs
Heeney 20yrs
Papley 20yrs
Rose 20yrs
Hewett 20yrs
Aliir 21yrs
Jones 21yrs
Lloyd 22yrs

Allir Allir /thread /thread.

 

[mtooler]

In 2016 Mills is the top story, but gee whiz Allir is making some massive claims to being the top positive. We are top 4 and have a shot at a home final. If not this year then next year we will be ripe considering all the games gotten into our young brigade.

 

[Daroxic]

Rampe - AA lock, kicking has improved a lot as well
Aliir Aliir - excellent intercept 3rd tall
Grundy - built on his excellent 2015 season
Papley - if his only game was the one where he made Hodge look like a lettuce leaf thats good enough for me
Tippett - before he went down was AA forward/ruck

 

[Teddy chester]

Winning in the wet

 

[GotTheGoodes]

We follow the greatest damn club in the world.

Millsy, Paps, DoubleA, Heenz, Jones, Hewy, Naisy, Rose, Xav, Marshy, Lloyd... Holy s**t!! I mean seriously. You can't have everyone.... Unless you're us. We just can't help it it seems.

 

[The King!]

I see red is better than sweet caroline

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

12-5 sitting 3rd with 4 rounds to go, only one game where we haven't been in it little bit of luck and we would be outright first.

We just had our 7th debuton on the weekend, if you had told me we would need Allir Allir, Marsh and Mills to hold us down back i would of thought we would do well to make the 8.

What a improvement to the way we ended 2015 which to be honest was looking quite bleak.

 

[Neverwas]

Naismith, a real tap ruckman!

[CheapCharlie]

Positive for me this year is our defence. The most miserly in the competition. The last couple of years has been about how much we need some decent KPDs but it seems like the work is getting done.

Take a bow backline boys

 

[replicant]

Has rohan got the rod out yet?

I know he was never a big ball winner but if he never got the bad injury i think we would be seeing super consistent 2-4 goal efforts a week

We took the inanimate carbon rod out of Rohan.

It's playing ruck this week instead of Sinclair.

It's an upgrade.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Buddy back to some of his best form this year, great to see considering how last season ended for him.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

All of the above that everyone said, plus another big one - Buddy's back and seemingly over his mental health issues.

 

[Dangas]

Positive, how Kieren Jack bounced back against a torrid week with the Girlfriend - Mum issue with a win against the Cats at their home ground with himself playing well.
