The positives thread

[jackess]

How many people felt this same excitement when leppa and leigh come in. False dawn folks.......









Sorry force of habit.

The GH5 killed off any optimism

So at Piedimontes today, a IGA supermarket and saw a mum put a coin in one of those toy dispense machines. This one was an AFL branded model that spits out little rubber balls wiht a team logo on them.

So she says to her little boy, what comes out will be the winner of the next years premiership. I couldn't help waiting to see who it was and sure enough it was the Brisbane Lions that came out. The little kid grabbed the ball so tightly and all I could think was you poor little bastard. Was petty funny to me

Sick puppy, but I like you.

Good enough for me. Those machines never lie. (Disclaimer: Machine will tell the truth but may be referencing an alternate universe where the Brisbane Lions indeed become next year's premiers. It's science, look it up.)

 

[M Malice]

we can now move on to more important things-

1) new coach announcement.
2) new assistant coach announcements.
3) PP announcement.
4) trade ins and outs.
5) draft some guns.
6) new administration and training base announcement.

 

[AFLQLD]

Today, Tuesday 4th October 2016, is a positive day.

Hopefully in the years to come we can look back on today as the end of the Brisbane Lions dark ages and the beginning of our renaissance.

You know your AFL team has had a bad year when there losses hurt more then your NRL team losing a grand final.

Whoops this is the positives thread.

 

[alscotoz2]

i think it's positive this thread is so long.

Feel like McStay should be in there as well, just as talented as the others but work ethic is an issue. If he can up his work rate, he could be like Geelong's Taylor imo.

Yep he's a very talented tall on our list. The 4 I listed are all tall tall's though All 4 are 199cm+.

Agree here, I think it's also a bit of a case of Excusitis (not a yet confirmed sickness). I remember last year he was behind Rocky at a media/school event and Rocky was using the club's 'youth' excuse line and thought that right behind him is one of those younger players and it must mess with their psyche. Bit of deprogramming, better development/coaching/educating and I think he'I'll be better for it.

We are padding it out with semi negatives

 

[CarterS]

Just reflecting on the pictures above a little bit, one of the main positives of the season has to be Hipwood. Looked to me like he was built like an African distance runner and would take some years to come through but didn't he look good? Really has an x factor about him, attacks the contest and can really take a leap. Kick for goal maybe worse than Daniher though If I was forced to pick only 1 then I'd have him over Schache at this point in the game based on what I've seen. They do look like they complement each other well though.

Archie's debut would have to be up there as well. 2017 Rising Star here we come.

 

[Big Lion]

It was a nice day in Melbourne today.

 

[AFLQLD]

Our trading period seemed calm and very professional. Already it feels like a lot of people are on the same page and working towards a clearly articulated goal. We looked like one of the clubs that was never in a panic during the trading period. Even when the Rockliff thing was playing out, the club seemed to have a deliberate, calm and logical air about it.

Fantastic result to start the season against the Suns at Metricon! Gives us a chance to kick the season off with a win and it will likely mean we won't have to leave Queensland until Round 3.

 

[lionshine]

Thank god the AFL have fixtured a game on the Friday! It is such an anti climax with the hype surrounding the season beginning on the Thursday night and than having to wait until Saturday to watch another game.

Literally handing us the cup.
