Positives

Post: # 1689323Post saynta »

I could only find three.

1. Brandon White. Our next great white hope.

2. Tim Membrey. The boy can play and will only get better.

3. Hundreds, if not thousands of neanderthals didn't get to see their team win. Small comfort I know, but take it where you can find it, I say.

That's all folks.

Still shattered.

Shattered p155 offed still, but yes White, was the big positive. MacKenzie played his best game, maybe the conditions suited him and Dunstan seems to have returned to the promise of his first season.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

We all got to realise there's something worse than getting smashed by 60 points.

The friendly SA cop who provided a " protective presence" for my daughter, her mate and myself, during an ugly episode involving foul mouthed drunken Port ferals. Such "big, tough, brave men" :roll: picking on two women and a pensioner when their team fell behind. What wonderful examples of South Australian hospitality and sportsmanship. Must be something in the water there! Noddy04, and all those other brave SA Sainters; you have my absolute respect and sympathy for having to endure THAT every time our team plays there!

White was good, Membrey was outstanding. His leadership and intent was the best I've ever seen from him.

Many positives. Cannot believe the negativity. We DOMINATED PORT IN ADELAIDE.
We were the youngest team of the round. Our journey is just beginning. We have the talent - 2018 incomes kelly and hopefully another star. OUT Reiwoldt montanga they have done their job but they now hinder us shown by the games they have missed.
Our youngsters stand up without em. Add McCartin, Goddard, Freeman. We kicked poorly and had some shitting ourselves moments but all in all acres steele dunstan shown they will be guns - they owned the midfield - membrey is elite and brandon white is webster mk2.

Geary Goddard. Roberton
Wenster Carlisle White
Newnes. Dunstan. Freeman
Bilings. Bruce. Sinclair
Gresham. McCartin. Membrey

Longer. Steven Kelly

Ross. Steele. McKenzie. Acres.

Goal kicking is a real negative, a bummer.

We are the only team in the AFL who have kicked more points than goals this year.

A really disgraceful damning statistic.

Absolutely true! However, it CAN be fixed! Make this a priority during the off season

more positives than negatives - the only real negs were goal kicking, our ruck situation, and losing. The first and last ones are biggies.

+1 about having a good game with our 4 oldest players out. But -1 for Brandon White being Webster mk2 as White can kick the ball. The sooner we can get more players in the side that now how to use the ball, the better.


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
