The positives thread

[briztoon]

Weird feeling being this deep in finals and still alive with a good chance.

I miss delving into the trade board depths and picking an argument with a random about how pick 23 + 45 + 56 is overs for their player + 39 + 64 !

The core of our team still hasn't hit 25 or older yet.
Yes the main players are mostly in their late 20s but the rest are very young.
All this experience will be invaluable going forward into next year.

We lost to the Cats less badly than the Swans did

I thought most of the father son watch thread was pretty much about being excited in advance for 2023!

As soon as we get Dunkley, Ashcroft & Fletcher in a Lions jumper & on our list.

Here's my big positive. Outside of the big Vic clubs (I'd include Geelong in that list), we are arguably the next ranked destination club atm.

Clearly the big Vic clubs are the ones that the young 20 to 23 year old potential superstars want to get traded to. And fair enough, they're going home & want to go to a footy bubble for the next ten years of their careers.

But outside of them, I reckon we're the next cab off the rank. We haven't really had any go home factor trades, which is what most high profile SA & WA trades have been in recent times.

We have had mid 20's players that want to go to a good system & have a chance of snagging a flag though.

Absolute credit to all the staff at our club for creating this great destination for players.

Going back to 2013 you'd be hard pressed to think this was possible.

We are still there about. Better than not playing finals.

Premierships are so hard to win.

We are not that far off.

 

[Jubair]

I agree, they are hard to win. It's not a linear process. All these finals experiences we are having are building the individuals within the team. A premiership is not always a guaranteed result of all these efforts but you always have to give yourself the best chance to get there.

 

[Cuzz09]

I still feel like having that after the siren win in an away final v port in 2017 paved our way for a flag and to tough out the 18GF..

You need to experience those finals I reckon.

Adding Dunkley is huge. You'll be up there no doubt. Haven't really lost anything major but added strengths

He was never contacted/approached/asked if he was interested in the Essendon Chief Executive job. All fake news created by the shitheads that want to make up stories.

 

[Hanley]

I think we're the best placed team in the comp to push for the AFL/AFLW/VFL triple this year.

A premiership in the AFL would make me a happy chappy beyond anything else I can think of atm......dont really get excited about the other 2 to be honest.

2nd biggest positive of the year after the Melbourne win

such a weapon

 

[Sanchez365]

Coleman is so great to watch. His tackling has always been elite too.

 

[Mighty Lions]

2nd biggest positive of the year after the Melbourne win

such a weapon

Our win against Melbourne at the G was epic. Maybe a bit biased but our forwards in that game were unstoppable. Berry was great in the 2nd half but our forwards won the game for us undoubtedly.

Barrett reckons both Norf and Essendon have made unofficial approaches but that he's on the verge of signing a new long term year deal with us.
