Re: Positives
Agree. Midfield were the best I've seen all season which is not saying much I know. Forward line was ordinary and god we missed roo but on the whole very positive signs. I thought the pies were very lucky tonight.LENNY LEADS THE WAY wrote:I'm going to get flamed here but that was our best game for the entire season i have no doubt at all.
Now I'm going to put my hands over ears and not listen to any negativity.

Re: Positives
From what I saw and nearly getting into a blue with some Filth scumbag at the pub, I'd have to agree!! We looked like we were on the right track, but sadly lacked a little bit of direction! The Collywobbles and the Umps were against us tonight...and that's a tough gig by anyone's standards! My weekend is successfully ROOTED!! Thanks so much!LENNY LEADS THE WAY wrote:I'm going to get flamed here but that was our best game for the entire season i have no doubt at all.

Positive-
Robert Harvey kicked for goal from near the 50 mtre line
Luke Ball kicked for goal from near the 50 mtre line (where's his 50/50 to even play?)
Leigh fisher and Jason Blake proved their stopping worth and defensive pressure
the defense kept the score from being blown out in the last quarter- including a GREAT mark by Raph,- and clearing kick to A saint- several times.
Luke, Lenny, Dal and Joey having consistent time on the ground ( some commentators saw that as a negative)
BJ got through another game
we are one game closer to Baker, X , Gilbo and Nick returning,
Gram was running free-er than recently
NO major injuries? ( heart ache doesn't rank)

guys dont forget collingwood were a kick away from a granny last year and we played well and attacking, it was just the forward line that really struggled but the game plan is starting to click
and if you have played football you know any side can beat any side on their day.
Remember last year at the MCG collingwood come from behind to beat us and prob cost us the finals spot, and second half of the year i dont think we were that bad?

I know Blake was on Cloke and Cloke was quiet, but was that due to Blake's good work or just how the game played out?

We looked pretty good compared to what we have been like.
The midfield was great, but our forwards just didn't stand up.
We lack urgency when we need it, in the last quarter we needed to get the ball quicker into an open forward line. If we do that, Gehrig can do something on a lead, Kosi can do good things and when Roo comes back he can help.
More urgency to get the ball into an OPEN forward line.

Re: Positives
Not from me mate i was fairly happy you can play well and still lose games from some mistakes and a few passengers. At least we had a fair dip till the end this time.LENNY LEADS THE WAY wrote:I'm going to get flamed here but that was our best game for the entire season i have no doubt at all.

Some good & some bad
I agree there were positives too. Great effort from the midfield. However, consistency is needed. The backline was also servicable. Max & the 2 Fisher boys tried hard all night & it was great to see BJ back to his hard running defensive / offensive self. Very unlucky to have a free kick paid against him at the end of the third. This poor decision basically flattened us & we were gone after that.
I trust the coaching panel will be having a good look at the GTrain. Although the delivery wasn't real good, when the ball hits the deck he is practically useless. Too inconsistant for my liking & always has been, but again, a great stalwart of the club. Raph Clarke, I think, has been given far too many chances. He is soft & lacks the tanacity to be a league footballer.....
Any thoughts on the above
