The positives thread

[BuntonRules]

Every empty stubbie I threw at the telly missed.

Bit like our kicking, really.

Maybe when the 2013 draftees near 100 games we'll have an ok side.

Wow you are an optimist expecting all of those lads to stick around 5 years.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Tom Rockliff.

I've managed to get my body out of a shuddering fetal position, & taken the thumb out of the mouth.

I have been in that position since about 6.30 Thursday. I am all right now it is all over!

 

[Dom PC]

FACT! The last time Port beat a team by 100 points, the team that lost, won the flag 3 years later. I'd take that!

Tom Rockliff.

One play in the 2nd quarter where he won the ball, put it forward, mark was spilled and he collected the spill to put it forward to advantage pretty much summarized the team relationship with him; poor bastard has to do almost everything.

It really does feel sometimes that Rocky is the sole beating heart of this football club.

Definitely. I hope so much for his sake (and mine) that he gets the opportunity to captain the Lions in finals.

I'm sooo keen for the draft!We will have more inside 50's on draft day than we have all season...

 

[Last of the Roys]

Does anyone have anything??

Have a look at our history.

Bears supporters endured 8 years without a final series when they first came in.

Fitzroy supporters went 57 years without a premiership and twice went 18 seasons in a row without playing in the finals (1925 to 1942 and 1961 to 1978 - the later including a periods of winning just 1 game in two years, 6 games in 4 years and 19 games in 7 years)

It is when things are at their worst that the Club needs people to stand by them. It is the quality of such people that make a Club. I suggest we all take a deep breath and ask ourselves what would Vossy, Roger Merrett, Leigh Matthews or Kevin Murray do?

Accept the challenge, never give in, never take a backward step. It is when the chips are down we need our best supporters to come together to help lift the Club out of the mire.

Of course it will be tough, of course it will be a long road, and yeah you are going to question a lot of things along the way (and rightly so).

However, it is time for everyone involved in the Club - players, coaches, Board, admin / employees, volunteers and supporters - to stand up and say enough is enough. Only when we have had enough of our current predicament and are all pulling in the one direction with the sole aim of giving everything to achieve success again will we start the slow climb back towards the summit and ultimate glory.

Hopefully today we finally reached the bottom. Hopefully we have all now had enough. Hopefully we are all now ready for the hard yards necessary to get to the top again.

I reckon you could add Richy and Browny to that as well but Rich is gone for the year and Browny is way past his prime

 

[Dylan12]

Browny's 250th next week in the merged club's 400th game.

Bewick's 50th too.

Should be a bumper night at the Gabba next week and everyone should get behind the club for the occasion.

 

[lionshine]

I think West has been a solid pick up. He can take a grab and he always makes a contest. His skills aren't to bad for a big man either. Best of all though he always seems to be trying hard and working hard I am a fan.

 

[Simbatheking21]

Tommy Rock...... only player that seemed to give a F*&K today.

 

[AFLQLD]

Robbo is going to get better every game. It won't be long till he will be like Rocky. Things will turn. Bit by bit.

Win the spoon, Jed steps down and we Rocky takes over the captaincy.

 

[Crawb]

Maybe the AFL will finally level the playing field for us finally after a decade of rubbish

If the magic AFL Fairy had have showed up in 1998 and offered 3 flags in a row for ten years of pain I would've said "no worries".

Shit's getting old now though...

Churchill: "if you're going through hell, keep going."

 

[Big Lion]

The fact that if we keep playing like today an absolute gem of a forward/ruck will be our first pick in the 2014 draft.

 

[brizrider]

We got multiple goals from Bewick


Word to the wise

 

[Awhimaway]

Now that the footy gods are dead I get to say $&@& a lot

 

[Balony_pony16]

Cornes...captain of my DT team. WINNNING!!!!

Bloody oath.
Who cares about any other team.
These are our boys.
I believe they are trying their best under trying circumstances.
Let's support them.

I was out and only saw the first 5 minutes of the game.
