Postives and Negatives

[Pessimistic]

Even thogh the Ch 10 guys loved it and stuck the boot in - they still sound like they reckon we'll win a flag before the doggies

 

[senrulzisback]

Positives: I found out a way to download games onto my PSP.

Negatives: 2009.

 

[EightyNineChamps]

Negatives:

Constant handballing to players under pressure. Basically breeds a suicide culture throughout the team.

Also, coupled with that, is the fact that the players are not sensing opposition players around them when they have the ball, leading to numerous holding the balls.

And to add with those points, I don't know whether it is ego's coming into play, but too many players are trying to break tackles when they have no chance to get through the lines.

These aren't just points that will go away when stars come back, which is worrying.

I'd love to tell you to **** of yet again.

But what you have just said in part is what the actual problem really is!!

Add to that also is the lack of protection and blocking for the ball carrier which in turn allows them to pass to the right target with less pressure...

FFSSSSSSS it's not really that hard...

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Positives:

1. Steven Gilham was excellent. He was constantly sold short by those upfield, and he battled so hard. We look better with him there, but sadly those forward of him let him down massively.

2. Beau Dowler again showed that he is very capable at this level. Did some good things.

3. Josh Kennedy was good. Battled hard when others around him let themselves go.

4. Liam Shiels' run and long kicking got me very excited. When the forward line is functioning, he will be a beauty.

5. Tom Murphy will regain some confidence in knowing that he has been battling well over the past 8-12 weeks. Wasn't our worst.

Negatives:

Don't matter, think positive and it will turn around.

 

[Juza]

Positives: I was on TV !!!!!!!

Negatives: Simon Taylor kicking into a stationary man on the mark.
BIGGEST DUD OFF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Off The Couch]

Positive - We could get to pick up Anthony Morabito - looks a good sort

 

[AG]

Positives: I was on TV !!!!!!!

Were you the kid Howie interview at half time?

 

[grizzlym]

Positive - We could get to pick up Anthony Morabito - looks a good sort

Or perhaps Tom Scully!

 

[shanrew5]

Or perhaps Tom Scully!

Get your hand off it. Hes ours!

 

[grizzlym]

Get your hand off it. Hes ours!

Yeah he looks good. Saw him play earlier this year. Hey, what happened to Woenamarri? Saw he's been carded.

 

[barbster]

Positives -

- I didn't have money on them
- Hodge by far the best Hawk
- Gilham will be better for the run
- Ladson did well for his second game back
- Dowler went alright, he has a good kick on him
- Kennedy getting a game
- The usual chumps (Taylor, McGlynn, Murphy, Stokes) making it easier for the selectors to delist them at seasons end
- The second half


Negatives -
- Lack of coaching moves
If we're getting smashed in the centre how about throwing a different group of players in there, would have loved to see Buddy in there, Hodge did well when thrown in there
Also a one on one game should have been implemented early on to stop the rot
- Stokes not taking his chance of becoming a regular
- Birchall and Guerra were pretty ordinary
- Umpires were ordinary, especially on some early Buddy calls, he had three bad calls early on which all would have ended in goals, could have changed the game

 

[johnnyb]

negatives: Birch, mitchell, x man are not 1/4 of the players they were last year,

as for taylor( worst ruck player in our history) and murphy its beyond me how they get a game each week.

I broke my fox remote last night and now have to buy a new one

Positives: ummmmmm ???

 

[Hawk Sale]

Positive-We look like getting a high draft pick this year which nobody expected.All of a sudden we look slow in the midfield and we badly need another quality defender.

 

[macdaddio]

Negatives: Lewis leads our goal kicking for the match, a guy who struggles to kicks goals....
Were the hell was Ruffy and Buddy what the hell are they doing this is the best combo in the comp and they are woefull......
Possitives: Lewis kicks 3 goals and leads our goal kickng for the macth, he can hold his head up high,

 

[50metres]

Thanks, for once I'm coming in here not to troll, but with an informed opinion after watching the whole game.

You never saw Crawshay play did you?

 

[timhawx]

Positives : We stopped Geelong from going back to back in 2008.

Negatives: Our seniors are flat and the truth is our young blokes are only VFL level players at their best.

 

[wolvesjr34]

Positives: Josh Kennedy's game I thought he showed some glimpses

Negatives: Too many to mention

Yes, I thought that Kennedy showed some attack on the ball, he gave effort, he played like the jumper mattered to him. That is an upside.

 

[langers1971]

positives: i picked up 2 kicks and 2 handballs from retrieving the ball during the warm up, and one from a 2nd quarter doggies goal, the same amount of possession that simon taylor had for the night.

negatives: our big drop in next years membership, once all the bandwagon supporters have dropped off, and joined up with whoever wins this years flag!

 

[speedpeck23]

Positives.....it wasn't a grand final.

Negatives...we lost a game of football

 

[The Swert]

Positives:
Sewell trying hard every single week and never playing a bad game.
Hodge being moved into the midfield, got a clearance straight away.
Gilham getting through the game unscathed
No new injury concerns
Bailey making a successful comeback in the VFL
Young getting through unscathed in the VFL

Selfish Positive: Thank god I live in Perth and haven't had to read melbourne newspapers and listen to talk back radio
