Re: Positives for tonight.
Carlisle was amazing.
That our deficiencies were highlighted and has ensured our club/players do not get ahead of themselves. We need midfield class and should get Kelly.
We know who our ruckman should be moving forward. Hickey is mentally weak.
That even though we were 8 goals down the boys still got around Battle when he kicked his first goal. It's a great sign of comradery.
The game was so bad I could leave at 3qr time and as a result, avoid the terrible traffic on the Monash saving me 2hrs extra in the car.
That the debate on whether Montagna should play next year is over.....he shouldn't.
Also anyone on this forum knocking Brown just doesn't understand football. If you don't understand football please don't attempt to knock a player...especially the ones that play well every week. Brown has been excellent ALL year including tonight.

I'm just saying that Long played as a halfback in juniors, but hasn't even been tried their in the VFL. He could go on a fantasia and learn what good players in the small forward role do
Fortius quo Fidelius means Strength through Loyalty. . . I think

Re: Positives for tonight.
Lonie has kicked 5.12 this season and 27.35 for his career.
If you are small and slow and can't tackle then at least you need to kick your goals. He can't even do that.

The Fish'n'chips at Black Cod pre-game.
Spending time with my buddy Tom at Black Cod pre-game
Buying my granddaughter her first beer at the footy (she turned 18 last month! )
Sitting with my daughter and granddaughter.
Getting to sit with the Cheer Squad....... man you guys are GREAT!
OK..... we lost the game ..... BIG DEAL! No one died! We live to fight another day!
To hell with being negative! (I have supped several house reds though! )
God how I LOVE this club!

Richo and creative is an oxymoron.
