Toast Reasons for Optimism

[DQ 4EVER]

Right. I remember that. Classic!

Couldn't have assembled a more useless bunch of cluckfuster mother-ducking dingbat dorkies in one room here..........the oxygen in the room was struggling to figure which 1 braincell to help out hehe!

Maybe Treacy saw it?! Gossage is just a walking sewage pipe. Does anyone even remotely take that dweeb-dick-dumbledork
serious?! How these ninnies get jobs is beyond me, really.

Look who's having the last laugh now, numb-nuts

You have a wonderful way of describing those tossers.

 

[poshman]

I bet they match us at centre bounce and we get a low scoring win.

I agree this is most likely, I also don't think we have adjusted to the new reality of our firepower with Treacy, Bolton, Murph, Dudly etc.

I would take a low scoring 4 goal win. Our percentage will still climb a little.

Quazar2 your posts are insightful and often make me laugh, never change

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

We are a kick away from being 4-1 without playing our best 22.

thanx a lot; I can guarantee I'll never change, although I'm sure that would be to the consternation of others. But I care not...so much

We have had that quartet twice ?
It’s really nice watching as we make that adjustment. It’s quite possible that’s why we are seeing less impact from Jye, especially on the scoreboard.
It has also brought Freddy more consistently into the game. We are also finding Vossy with passes regularly.
Just imagine if Vossy converted his chances.
I can’t remember ever having a better forward line.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Reid, Amiss and Tracy are all kids with a lot of upside. Not many Coleman medallist’s under 22. They will gel together and improve as they do. Dudley is only a few years older in his first season. They will all benefit from the “special delivery” from a fit Hayden Young

If May is out, we're going to be going around 70% scores off entry. Think it's a tough job in the middle, though I'd say we're considerably quicker.

Bolton has cost Jye four opportunities in the last three weeks. Just a cohesion thing. He has also gone for goals when Jye was ten meters off his opponent on the lead. Going to be very fun to watch!

The next six weeks are going to be a great watch. We won’t see our best until after the bye but it is going to be fun watching us build to it.

Youngs overhead marking in the forward line actually gives us another very mobile tall forward.

It gives us another dimension until he gains the fitness for longer stints in the midfield.

[Farrand]

A game close to J-lo getting replaced?

 

[Rhufus]

Boltons best game in purple.
Thats it, thats all Ive got.

Amiss improved. And I think the game illustrated how good Chappy has been this year.

One game closer to Jackson coming back.

 

[Mr Cheese]

Yep, Chappy out hampered out ball movement from defence, as well as our defence generally. Missed Walker massively, he'd have been on Kozzie.

I also liked that Darcy's still good gor a goal. He'll improve, got spanked today though.

Umpiring was ordinary but didn't cost us the game. Amiss was good, lots to like. We're still 3-3, future's in our hands.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

We’ve either been in winning positions or well in games with momentum in 5/6 of our games so far. Remove the aberration that was round 1 and we’ve played five games that have been there for the taking.

Amiss looked much better. Bolton looked great. We nail a few of the misses from Sharp or Amiss and we win. Same with Voss v Sydney.

We missed Voss today. And JOM when he went off. Need some more grunt.

 

[mightymouse75]

It's the hope that gets ya

 

[Andy Brennan]

We'll boost the percentage of the crows, saints, pies, giants, port, and suns! How nice of us

 

[Piggy Smalls]

We are somehow going to finish this round inside the 8

 

[cactuscall]

We are somehow going to finish this round inside the 8

We are just out of it because of the Saints ineptness, which we can relate to. Surely some Saints junk time coming up to put us back in 8th.

 

[pK75]

We can say we’ve beaten a top 8 team now, and only lost against 1 top 8 team so we’re 50% against top 8 teams.

 

[StingBitten]

Someone posted an insight in another thread that Brayshaw and Serong are excellent midfielders, but not big enough to stamp their authority on the game.

In terms of personnel, I actually think we are one elite, big-bodied mid away from a flag. Stuff Warner and Pickett - Bolton, Dudley and Reid will play that role just fine.

Give me a 2015 David Mundy

, a 2010 Michael Barlow or. 2012-2020 Nat Fyfe and I reckon we'd nearly be there.

O'Meara just hasn't been it, Fyfe is cooked and Erasmus and Brodie aren't up to it.

Who can we lure over?

[gungho]

We have a good list, they are just not being coached right.

Very good: Serong, Young, Treacy, Jackson, Brayshaw, Bolton
Good: Walker, Noddy, Clark, Ryan, Chapman, Reid, Draper, Pearce, Amiss.
Servicable: Wagner, Dudley, Cox, JOM, Sharp, Freddy. Voss, Darcy (when fit).

That's 23 solid (or better) AFL players. We should be performing better than we are.
