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:

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
