The positives thread

[WhiteLionFeva]

Wouldn't be banking on Cuts coming back that quickly.

 

[JTW3553]

Positive: Learnt to not go to the footy tanked after an arvo on the sauce. My posts were way to negative during the game.

 

[Gadzorks]

Mind u, a little bit of anesthetic goes a long way.

 

[WA Lion]

Robbie Gray to miss 2-3 games with Hammy i.e. against us next week. Always seems to play well against us.

Further offset by our likely addition on one D.Beams

 

[TheZork]

The 4 teams we have lost to are top 6 sides. We haven't been absolutely smashed and embarrassed by them on the scoreboard, whilst other teams have.

After Sydney, we've got:

Rd 7-- Port (away)
Rd 8--Collingwood (home)
Rd 9--Melbourne (away)
Rd 11-- Carlton (away)
Rd 12--Freo (home)

We're not a good side at the moment and no matches are gimmes, but we should be a competitive shot of winning 5 out of our next 6. If we have a good run and pick up 3 of those 5, we'd already have reached our 2015 win total by round 12.

And then throw in some potential for wins in R14 (Richmond), R18 (Ess), R19 (Port), R21 (Carl), R23 (StK) - is it wrong to dream of 9 wins?

Would honestly be happy with 6.

You forgot Round 10 against Hawthorn at home. Even GWS are smashing them these days.

 

[CarterS]

Agree but we are too up and down in Melbourne for me to be confident!

 

[Macca225]

Positive: no blow up lion, #bringbackthebanner

 

[a mayes ing]

Good game to rest Schache. Thi game would have sapped so much energy

 

[Milux]

Lester.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Keays is legit.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Keays is legit.

Good to have another quality player in no 1 - been awhile.

 

[Milux]

A big positive is we are no longer carrying passengers. Or have to carry them. People under heat are Taylor and mayes. If we are able to push 2 talents like that out we are in a goodish spot.

 

[CarterS]

We are coming through an extremely tough draw and our confidence is probably higher than it was at the start of the year.

 

[Kevvo]

Also wanted to mention Keays. He had the speed of the game immediately, cracks in and has clean skills. I thought he looked every bit the first rounder.

 

[Happy_Neale]

We are just so close to being a good side. So close.

 

[Lovemybrisbane]

This year against any team we are a red hot chance at the Gabba... We'll definitely win a couple more games this year at home. We do seem to be poor away unfortunately. Hopefully that changes as the side garners more experiemce

 

[Ceebee]

Cutler would have been handy today. but was a great team effort.

Only to be expected with a largely inexperienced group that they will struggle with both the travel and the hostility of away crowds.

AS they mature and get both physically and mentally stronger, we can rightfully expect the away performances to improve.

Until then, it's going to be a battle.

today

 

[Gibbo_88]

Went for a hike this morning and had to bail a third of the way in when the three of us found we'd gathered 50 leaches between us on our shoes/ankles.

Made it home in time to see our team show a bit of heart

 

[pOleK]

Collingwood brought back to earth by the weagles, 62 point flogging. Only thing that would make today better was if we pinched that win.

 

[dlanod]

Did a PB in my 1 km swimming because I was so pissed off at a three point loss.
