I can't believe some of the whinging on the match day thread so here's a look at some positives out of this week.

Watts produced his best effort yet - more intensity, strong hands for two contested marks, one goal and one goal assist with another laser like handpass under pressure, pushed hard into midfield and defence.

Frawley - terrific defensive effort on Milne.

Dunn - much improved and developing into a pressure forward - has excellent tactical awareness

Grimes- gave us great drive while he lasted

Trengove - terrific game

And I reckon it was Garland's best game this year while Joel Mac gave us physical strength and steadiness in defence.

There was real improvement evident across the field. Only problem - we don't bring that level of intensity every week. If we did we'd have two or three more wins. Bring that game next week - bring Sylvia and the skipper back and we're a real chance.

Another positive was we werent reduced to playing catch up footy. A much better effort in that regard. Still far far far too many fumbles etc but thats often the way when youre nearly getting there and the plays are there in mind just not executed pefrectly by the body. We still havent enough of the right folk on the paddock just yet, but there's glimpses.

Somewhat ironic as yesterdays game was an iprovement of sorts whilst still cascading us towards more silverware of the wrong kind.

another positive is players kept their feet a lot better this week. I wonder if this was highlighted after the crows game?

Dunn - much improved and developing into a pressure forward - has excellent tactical awareness

No he doesn't.

He is just OK as a defensive-minded forward. But not that good. It's not like he completley nullified Fisher. And the week before he had the job on Johncock, which didn't work.
