Analysis Positives - Round 17 vs Essendon.

[ThisIsJake]

Did this last week and had a few people say that i should this after every loss, but i honestly can't really find any.

- Beams and Sidebottom were serviceable.

- This loss should result in a mass of changes.

- We have the bye and have 2 weeks to do some serious soul searching.

If you can find anymore then go for it.

And yes i'm expecting most of the replies to this thread to be jokes - just make them good jokes.

No injuries?

Oh, wait, for some players that would have actually been a positive...

I had two drinks at the ground and now 23 dollars poorer. Is that a positive since I could have kept drinking and be a lot worse?

 

[Big Bryza]

Positives - its over.

 

[Lord Wilberforce]

We might start thinking about replacing Malthouse with a suitably qualified senior coach...

$12.50 a drink! Outrageous!

 

[DinoSoar]

Hang on, just thought of one - money saved on finals tickets as we ain't gonna make the 8

 

[surfer1]

In disgust I went to club and won $50

 

[golazo]

Only positive is that the game's ****ing over.

**** me. I'm ropable

 

[jerry springer]

Tell me about it, my own fault for drinking spirits!!

 

[Premier Pies]

The real Collingwood was exposed for all and sundry today. That is the true positive. No more talking up collingwood's chances of impacting the finals.

Add Jack Frost to that list. One goal to Joey Daniher on a day where the delivery was impeccable from a completely unpressured Essendon midfield and forwardline who generally had a +1 in the forward half, somehow. We played a disgusting gameplan, disgustingly executed by a disgustingly weak team to give them such an easy run of it. Still, decent by Frosty to hold up to that sort of pressure.

 

[Temploar]

Positive:

More snags at training next week?

 

[MyManLynch]

We won the hit outs & the interchange count.

Frosts Defensive effort - B+
Frosts kicking and attacking drive - F

Fair call.

That said I can handle my shutdown fullback being a terrible kick (see Prestigiacomo for proof). I can't handle my two inside mids (Ball and Adams), my outside accumulator (Sidebottom), my back pockets (Williams and Toovey), my forward pocket (Blair), and countless others also being terrible, terrible kicks.

Yeah unfortunately Adams, Toovey and White made it through unscathed

 

[Stripes B and W]

Only watched this one on a screen in FNQ but if Broomy and Martin do not play next week them its about as dumb as going in with one KPD...and not playing White the week before and....

Frost a huge positive today, lone hand tall defender.
