Toast Positives v Hawks

[Alpha1]

We got smashed because we haven't learned that we need to switch on for every game and our first half was a disgrace, but there were some positives.

Henderson - Showed why he can become a good player for us.
Joseph - Another good solid game, smashed Rioil.
Armfield- In the form of his life

Our courage we were 3 players down and no rotations at all, yes we got smashed but with three players down that was to be expected.

You start a positive thread but you have been negative all day...

Quite ironic really!

 

[Ryan Dixon Webb]

Sam Jacobs has played well, taken some strong marks around the ground.

 

[Alpha1]

Been negative? I am always like that before a game, you obviously don't know me, but hey we did get smashed, Kruz was very good as well today.

 

[blue gunslinger]

we have plenty to come back into the team

 

[Chism]

Robbo was awesome when moved into the middle of the ground.

 

[Alpha1]

Jacobs another one who is putting his hand up, takes some very good pack marks has a lot of strength.

 

[LoveMyBlueBoys]

So very dissapointed. Nothing to add right now

Positives:
1. Sammy Jacobs.
2. Lachie Henderson. Leave him up there.
3. Kade Simpson. Hearts and guts galore.
4. Kruezer.
5. Scotland trying hard all day.


what I'd like to see more of:
1. Harder tackling and more pressure
2. Gibbs playing in a more attacking role. Sick of this defensive crap.
3. Creating space and actually moving when we have the kick ins, instead of standing there looking at ourselves on the big screen...
4. Mitch Robinson playing HFF.

Henderson... you've got to be kidding me, he should be back in the reserves.. yeah he kicked 3 goals but dropped marks he shouldve taken... missed at crucial times...

 

[Bronze]

Sam Jacobs....he is AFL standard, no doubt.

Time to consider offloading Hampson to GC17 for a top 10 pick.

 

[Sin City]

Mitch Robinson

Aaron Joseph keeping Rioli to 9 touches.

Sam Jacobs.

Kreuzer's marking.

Kade Simpson

 

[rampar]

Positives are that we learnt to kick it long on the wing to a contest 1980's style. hang on....

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Hendo was not too bad, but I am not sure at this stage he is a good fit when Waite is back. Obviously will be there next week, but will need another decent performance to hold his spot.

 

[CrippsonBlue]

We got smashed because we haven't learned that we need to switch on for every game

Haha - perhaps in another few years, we can learn the very complex, and difficult lesson of needing to 'switch on' for every game.

Although it is nice to attempt to keep things simplistic, no such lesson is needed...

 

[CrippsonBlue]

Henderson... you've got to be kidding me, he should be back in the reserves.. yeah he kicked 3 goals but dropped marks he shouldve taken... missed at crucial times...

He was the only one that could score at crucial times.

You want to talk about missing at crucial times, make a new thread about Betts.

 

[BowerTower]

6-7 missing from our best 22

3 players injured in Q2

Almost zero contribution from our bottom 6 players

Hawthorn (along with Essendon) are one of our bogey sides

 

[james Dean]

I had 50 bucks on the crows...

Seriously though, Henderson stood up when we made our charge, Mitch battled hard.

and most importantly, we (hopefully) will learn a lot about underrating opposition

Wrong thread, oops

Hendo was my biggest positive
Simpson, Scotland and Robbo trying their hearts out
Sam seems to be stepping up a bit more each week
AJ kept Rioli pretty much out of it

 

[BowerTower]

Henderson could kick a bagfull next week and he will still be going back to the VFL for Waite

 

[Gambelic]

Henderson could kick a bagfull next week and he will still be going back to the VFL for Waite

Just makes it even more annoying that Waite got suspended for being stupid last week.

 

[impatient]

One positive you willl never see Joe Anderson in a Carlton jumper again.

Has he got photos of Ratten?

 

[juddsentant517]

Sammy Jacobs tried his massive heart out around the ground.
Henderson showed that he can play
Am very certain that we will come out against WC with fire breathing out of our noses
It can only get better

Don't defend him, How about when we needed a goal in the first quarter?, when the game is in the balance... any other player wouldve kicked that goal? How about that shot after the siren ? Or that mark that went straight through his hands?

Bit harsh but i'd like to see him back in the VFL.
