The positives thread

[knaf]

If we can't see the light knaf we are trapped in there. Quick send for the rescuers.

Nah I am confident we will see the light. The rescuers may have already arrived ie Fages and co.

Just completed my self diagnosis. What are the best options for therapy?

I would recommend you to Haso for therapeutic advice but I am not sure if binge watching Simpson's episodes during the off season would be ultimately helpful for your sanity!

Yes feeling positive about the season for the first time in years, I am trying to keep a lid on expectations. We may not be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I feel at least we are in the tunnel now.

Always been able to see the light...This, however, is the first time in a long time I can say that light ain't the express train coming from the other direction..

 

[MacMum]

I'm positive I'm nervous of us falling in a heap from all the hype.....and years of being disappointed as a Lions supporter.

...and yet I'm positive we have genuine stars in our ranks.

Seeing the older age members faces with 5 minutes to go. Prior to that they were all sitting there stone faced not allowing themselves to believe.

Ic McCarthy and Cameron, we have 2 elite small forwards. Gonna be a great 1-2 punch. I reckon they are going to form a really good relationship, how win us heaps of games.

 

[Sausages]

Positives:

1. People getting excited about the Lions again.

2. No injuries following a big win to start the year.

3. Not as many lids to contend with

 

[BangyBangy]

Postitives.

We didn't have a premiership hangover, because apparently beating the Dees in JLT game 2 was our grand final.

 

[Lazza16]

Matt Lloyd on the Sunday Footy Show just said he was talking to some Melbourne players about our JLT game and they said they were very surprised at how hard at it the lions were and that we could make the finals as early as this year.

Well....the Dees remarking on our toughness is certainly interesting, given the rubbish they served up yesterday.

OTOH....

WHAT DO THEY EXPECT, WE'RE THE MIGHTY LIONS

Rayner kicked 2.3 last night too. Him kicking a bag is not far off.

Cameron, McCarthy and Rayner will give teams nightmares.

Zorko also had 4 or 5 shots on goals. Most were nowhere near the goals but he was dangerous.

 

[kenberger]

I was skeptical about shutting down our 3-year ‘rebuild through the draft strategy’ last year but after last night I’m very optimistic. Early days I know, but gee it looks as though we’re finally a club that can draft, retain and trade all in one.

 

[Tom14]

That was the most consistent contribution yet from McStay and I think his best game for us - while he didn't kick a goal and take many marks he just made contest after contest and kept McGovern from having an easy time intercept marking.

If he plays with that effort he's a certain starter every week and the offensive side of it will come.

Continue to be bullish on McStay. He was quite clearly given a job last night to ensure the ball came to ground and did it very well. Not a great night for taking grabs anyways. Is quite good below the knees fighting for possession also.

Rocky looks to be back to his best. Not sure if that's a positive as he plays for another team now but I still love Rocky.

 

[Saucery]

This club is just all class, love 'em to bits.

"The Gabba crowd included the recipients of 500 free tickets handed out by the Lions to patrons at 12 Brisbane mosques on Friday in a show of support to the local Muslim community after last week's terror attack in Christchurch, New Zealand."

Still has those loopy kicks with big air time and lack of pace.

Surprised he gets a game then.

 

[James North]

If his best was when he was getting heaps of the ball and we were getting smashed in the midfield, he’s probably there.

 

[Gibbo_88]

Eagles coach talking us up in the first minute of the press conference.

Good to see we dominated them in contested possessions. From memory we were up by about 10 at half time
Berry - 10 Mathieson - 12 Robbo - 13 Zorko - 13 Neale - 14

Won the clearances by 8 with a pretty even contribution. 4 players had 5 clearances, 3 players had 4.

More his All Australian year. I'm sure we could discount that also.
