Positives from the game

PJ looked like he can really play.

Bate, Sylvia and Dunn should be in next week. Wheels, Bartam and Rivers not far away now.

Yze should not play again - his contract ends this year anyway. We have the most over 30's on our list in the AFL.

Play the young players.

White getting close to the end.

i thought wheatley and beamer had a real crack...

robbo was dangerous when he had the delivery...

weetra can find the footy, just needs a little more composure...

cale's kick to green in the last quarter was a gem, shows he knows how to use the ball...

i don't think it would've mattered who played on Buddy Franklin, no one could've stopped him...

In JUNK TIME!!! Pffft

yeah, when he had the delivery, the pressure was off our midfield and they finally delivered to him... the midfield was under too much pressure throughout most of the game and they didn't give him a chance...

What about the incident about a min. before that pass, when Cale was caught in a shocking position running back into the pack, and showed he was prepared to take the crash. With THAT body, it took real guts. Weetra stood his ground under immense pressure once, too.

Brock came into form in Q 4.

Johnson did a hell of a lot better than White.

Garland strove hard. Jones tried his guts out.

Yep, those two pieces of play from Cale Morton were standouts for me.

Thought Paul Johnson showed a lot (one of the few that looked like he wanted to be out there). Moloney had a bit fight about him and kept battling till the end. Buckley took them on a few times, and tried hard and Miller wasn't too bad down back. Not too much else that I could take from all of that. Greeny and McLean only came good in the second half.

PJ was a positive in every way. White desperately needs to reinvent himself.

Just got home from the game after drowing my sorrows with 5 or 6 (more like 15 :wacko: ) too many beers afterwards. I dont even want to get started on the negatives or i'll be here all night...

So, i decided to post in the positves thread. I'm far too [censored] to coherently comprehend my agonising memories of what transpired a few hours ago.

PJ's workrate today was phenomenal. Was one of only a select few who looked like they were willing to put in the hard gut-running yards. A few of his fellow midfielders around him could learn a thing or two from his defensive efforts. On todays performance, he should be ready to take over White's spot very soon. And we need him to. White was just not up to standard today. For a 'mobile ruckman' whose forte is supposedly his ability to win the ball around the ground, 8 soft disposals is just not good enough.

Other positives... ??

Moloney had a pretty good comeback. Jones tried hard as always though his disposal let him down. Buckley was encouraging again, but like Jones lacked polish by foot, and also made some poor decisions. Morton showed some signs, but is still a long way off physically. Not ready for '08 IMO. Weetra took a contested mark early in the game.... Umm, what else? Ummm....

Not much else to write home about. Even the positives have negatives in them.

A positive...ok

The MFC Marquis seemed to be doing a brisk business in signing up memebers.. well it looked like it to me !!. I thought that was encouraging.. Clever of them to not be there after the game too....might have been a few wanting refunds !!! :lol: :D :lol:

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
