Review Positives and Negatives vs Essendon - Rd 14, 2018

[HoneyBadger35]

Getting in early.

Nelson’s got some campaigner about him, like that.
Rioli chases like a mad man.
Naitanui had flashes, as did Yeo.

Negatives self explanatory. Game was so winnable, even after quarter time. Two weeks straight we’ve kicked ourselves out of it.

If you’re going to have a melt, at least make it worth our time. Would love a laugh right now.

 

[squashface]

I bet on Essendon to win 1-39.

campaigners are leading by 42

The obvious ones
-ve
First quarter
Goal kicking the last two week
Liam Ryan needed more time in the WAFL before being brought in

+Ve
A few egos will be brought in check by this both players and supporters

Negatives

We've got a week of umpire whinging to look forward to, in spite of losing.
LeCras' has dropped off the deep end.
Basil commentating.
Team looks a shadow of the one pre-Saint Kilda. Mental wobbles have emerged big time. And the problems don't even seem to be centred around our forward line.

 

[kaII]

Oh and we basically got trashed in the first quarter, and have been playing an otherwise entirely winnable game.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Negative
- We rely too heavily on JD and JK to win games of football.
- We have reverted back to the stink of previous years, no fight, no hunger.
- We are shot mentally, the bye killed us for some reason. Hard to get top 2 with this mentality.
- Reverted back to terrible goal kicking.
- Ruined my weekend.

Positives
+ There is always next week.

 

[Matera92]

+ Wake up call that we are massive pretenders and mentally soft as baby s**t,

- Realising that it doesn't take much for our players to revert to their 2017 shitness.

 

[ChampRevesby]

The night where we HAD to lower the eyes we couldn't do it. Just not composed enough, too much panic.

Positives:

* I dunno. Yeo tackled a lot. Thats pretty good.

Negatives:

* Everything else. The Suns would have beaten us tonight.

* Im going to have to take a break from football until after the Pies game. My blood pressure cant take it any more.

* Take it in - this is the moment we lost a Top 2 spot and an opportunity to grab 2 home finals.

 

[The Passenger]

+

20.10 in front of goal is very slick.
10 goalkickers - good spread
Tom Barass playing like a 100 gamer in his 6th game.
No NicNat no probs. Lycett killed it in the ruck.
2 wins between us and 9th now. Should be making finals from here.
McGinnity 4 goals where the * did that come from!!

-
Slow start trailing at quarter time
Shep a bit quiet but has been good lately so can be forgiven
Wellingham still struggles to win a contested ball

Did you copy paste this from a 2015 thread?

 

[kaII]

- this late effort is arguably more frustrating than if we'd just been flogged.

 

[Ok Boomer]

No positives. That first quarter was a disgrace.

We knocked off early vs the Saints and just didn't show up tonight.

 

[kane249]

22 scoring shots to 19 as I write this, uggh

Great call and something I was genuinely concerned about at the start of the week

That is why our midfield is labelled what it is and Nic Nat covers a few cracks up

Disappointing

Thats the issue, isnt we. We knocked off in the 4th vs St Kilda, and never clocked back in.

 

[MKMatty]

+ Reality Check!

- I literally went out to shovel dog s**t because it was a better use of my time than watching the game.

Was about to post that

Head scratcher

Entirely.

We could have won a game with a 50-1 head start and we kicked our way out of it. Remarkable.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Did the rot start in that last qtr against the saints?

 

[Swarhily]

what the * did i just watch

 

[Armadeo]

Did the rot start in that last qtr against the saints?

Feels like it

 

[VinegarStrokes]

First game I can remember with zero positives... ZERO

 

[Eaglespur]

World cup is far more entertaining than AFL

 

[kranky al]

Guys looked dazed.

Maybe sore from the stinkney game?

Drive back to gero early thats for nothing eagles you seahunts.
