Title: Positives Against Hawks
Post by: WA Tiger on May 16, 2010, 05:07:56 PM
Ok here we go:

Tackling

Run & Carry

Jackson, Newman, Riewoldt, Cotchin, Martin, Deledio, Tambling, Edwards, Foley, Gus, it's great to name that many positives. Really the boys stood up today, the Hawks didnt win, we lost, our guys were great. Look out when we are fit, strong and skilled enough to execute the game plan!!!!

Hopefully today we turn a corner like demons did with a close lose to collingwood.
today should give the boys some confidence to go into the up coming games with.

Agreed, biggest positive is that even a full strength Hawthorn side are rubbish and can barely beat us (didn't deserve to either)

Agree that Newman was inspirational today - one of the few games he has played like you would hope a captain would do every week. He was terrific!

The biggest positive for mine today is that we were confident enough today in our forward structure to kick it in long to a contest. What a difference this made!

Nason is a great player in the making, Gus was good today in the ruck and as a marking forward, Cotchin stepped up even further, Lids was solid across half back, McGuane made Buddy look silly, Jackson was great around stoppages, Foley was elusive, Martin solid and Webberly showed promise. All is all it was hard to pinpoint a player who did not contribute.  :gotigers

agree with everything, particulary Lids, Foley and Jack. Some want Lids gone :lol :lol :lol :lol

Newman and Mcguane lost that game for us with their shocking efforts in the back 50. They should be singled out and made to watch that vision again. :banghead :banghead :banghead

You cant be serious about Tambling's efforts today. 13 possys is unnaceptable. He doesn't deserve a spot in this team.

Heaps and heaps of positives today but the biggest for me was Cotchin

And plus pick 4 is still ours

Starting to become difficult to defend Tambling week in week out. Needs a stint in the seconds until he gets his confidence right and learns what is expected of him.

Newman was excellent today as was McGaune. I'm finding it hard to understand where you draw your conclusion from daniel. I thought they really stood up today and Newman was great at the kickins????

Nope both were excellent you cant hang them to dry on a few isolated examples.

Thursfield and McGuanes efforts on Franklin and Roughhead were top notch.

Can't agree re. Luke Mc.  He was diabolical today.  Franklin was ok, but a bit underdone.  mcGuane has no idea.  He is the very last player on our list that you want to see with the ball in his hand.  Absolutely no hope.  Shouldn't play again.  :banghead

Great to see us have big bodies up forward that meant we straightened up

Good to see us kick long to the forward line

There was so much to like today

And the pressure we applied across the ground was sensational.

Fantastic that we actually scored goals in every quarter for the first time this season  ;D

Now I am harsh critic of Gus Graham but I will give him credit today he was good. However, the test for him is next week. Today must be the norm not the exception

the value of Foley shouldn't be under estimated either - thought he was very good

The other thing for me was Newman - sensational today best game I've seen him play and as a captain... well today he played like one - inspiring

Lids, Cotch, Dustin, Axel, Jacko, Nason
4 quarter effort.
Tackling. Pressure.
Newman played a great game as skipper.
Riewoldt.
Gus was okay too.
Edwards too.
Highest score of the season.
Even the kickouts were better today too.

One positive was the pleasure of watching Rioli play.  He was a class above today.  Wish there was a Uncle-Nephew draft rule!

You're a stirrer MT  :rollin

You know that I praise when it's deserved and give the whacks when they are called for

I will say it again for you - he was sensational today and played like the captain we as a yuong team desparately need.  :bow :bow He deserves every bit of credit that comes his way this week - that's how good he was IMHO

pooman.

Look Ox they all made some shocking errors at times. Cotchn kicked straight to the opposition a couple of times that resulted in easy turnovers but I thought he was close to BOG. Our skill level and decision making let us down terribly at times but the things I really enjoy eg attacking the footy and the defensive efforts were first rate.

Yes that kick of Newman's in the final qtr was a shocker, incredibly costly but over 4 qtrs I thought he was fantastic.

As for Lids - I thought he was very good as well. A couple of times he looked poor when we were all flooding forward and turned over the ball and the Hawks got it back in their F50 to blokes who were unmarked and Lids was the only one getting back there. Like others he butchered some of his kicks but I thought he was very good.

Lids still had a 94% disposal efficiency rate

Maybe you should go and play on Franklin. You'll never bag Mcguane after that you fool  8)

Mate I am offering my opinion, not just based on yesterday, but based on most of his shambolic career.  he was hopeless.

He was very good and usually is very good. Has good skills but can have a brain fade. I wasn't worried one bit about his kick to deledio. Just a risky kick. You should stop taking things for granted and realise mcguane will a very good defender by the time he reaches 25 and reduces the brain fades  8)

I hope so.

He and thursty are 23 and on the improve. Wait until they are 5+kg bigger and 50 games more experienced. They'll be very good 2nd and 3rd tall defenders. Get Post and Gourdis in there and we have a strong defence.
