The positives thread

[AFLQLD]

We put up more of a fight against West Coast than the Saints have today! Thats a positive!

PS: Whats up with Billy Longer I wonder?

Yeah what did happen to Longer? He was no Mumford but he seemed serviceable. He really hasn't developed like I thought he would.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Fitzroy won again, so did Uni Blues. At least two teams I support played with some pride.

no desire to perform when the going gets tough, ie his inability to want to compete with berger to earn his spot

We are only 3 games (plus percentage) out of the 8.

 

[Milux]

We are only 3 games (plus percentage) out of the 8.

So, so close. Yet so far away.

 

[Mr Ripper]

We are only 3 games (plus percentage) out of the 8.

Very good point, this. In 1984, with only 6 games left, Fitzroy were FOUR games and percentage out of the five and still made it!



THERE'S STILL HOPE GUYS!!!

 

[Jivlain]

Josh Walker clunked a few inside 50 marks on the weekend and converted two of them into goals. Hopefully more to come

 

[Eons]

The reserves should have a win this weekend.

 

[Toffee Lion]

The effort showed up today, sadly we left the skills at home - as usual.

Still, after last week, I think we all just wanted to see effort.

McStay played his best game of his short career today. Was really good down back.

 

[PattyKwasagun]

Might be something in Paine. Certainly wasn't our worst key defender today.

Of course it looks like he picked up an injury right at the end

 

[Bucking Beads]

Some good performers out there today.

 

[Happy_Neale]

Mayes is quietly finding some form. Consistent improvement from Lester. West and Paine showed something. Freemans hands.

 

[deklares]

Keays gets plenty of it inside 50 just needs to improve his conversion

Matho did what we thought and put his head over it and won a few frees

West and martin did ok against gawn winning hit outs 42-41

McStay exactly what we need in back line.. seems more focused down back

 

[lionshine]

Not the worst move from the coaches sending Bundy down back. Provided some run and is a reliable ball user which we really lack coming out of defence.

 

[Ceebee]

I watched the whole game. Thought they showed good effort.
The ins played ok.

 

[Milux]

Bundys played alot of games of half back this year. Played most of gold coasts game off half back.

 

[Milux]

Me too. Still unsure if it is a positive though.

Yep really liked it. He is just so skilled.

 

[lionshine]

Bundys played alot of games of half back this year. Played most of gold coasts game off half back.

He started each centre bounce at half back but sprinted in to the centre contested as a loose man out the back and then spent the majority of the game behind the ball as a roaming midfielder. This is the first week he has spent playing as a genuine defender.

Dont know if he played as a genuine defender. Definatly stayed behind alot more though.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Lester might not be a flashy player but he has provided a role up forward and done it well.

Matho will be a player, as will Keays and McStay continues to improve.

Mayes seems to have responded in recent weeks.

Senior players still getting a lot of the ball, only had 7 less inside 50's and 4 less clearances - so the problem is the turnovers and breakdowns going forward as well as the massive paddock we leave in our backline.

 

[Happy_Neale]

Lester might not be a flashy player but he has provided a role up forward and done it well.

He's got some real spark about him too. The goal he kicked vs. Port for example. Good goal sense and can take a grab.

 

[Milux]

I suppose a positive is we arent the worse team in QLD.
