Losing to Carlton sucks I know but what positives did you get out of last night's game?
-
I fly out tomorrow for four weeks holidays OS and I won't be able to watch the crap I saw last night.
:thumbsup
-
good seats.
-
The fact that we really didn't play very well, went away from our structures and yet were only 6 points down with all the momentum 10 mins into the final quarter.
I think were a better side than last night and will prove it in the coming weeks.
-
1. Cotchin
2. A competitive ruckman who wins taps and competes around the ground.
3. Rance will be a gun backman for us.
4. One game closer to Jako and Edwards leaving the RFC.

I think so too TM. I still think we can have an impact in the next block of four games and win two of them.

Agree 100%. You could say Carlton didn't play that well either, but would have been interesting if Dusty kicked that goal and brought it to within 1 point how different the game may have been. We could have also stopped the junk goals and lost by 4 goals and come away witha 4 goal loss from a poor performance.
Thought Cotchin and Griggs game were positive.
-
Jack still goes for junk time goals?
-
"Junk Time Jack"
-
Positives for me were as follows: Griggs played a good game as did Cotchin. Edwards played well last night as well. Rance was good. Jack was class when ball came to him except for snap in first quarter and despite Martin being quiet by his high standards he still managed to kick two goals which says alot about him.

"Junk Time Jack"
I cringe at this.
Mainly because its true and I dont want to admit it.
-
define junk time
-
It wasn't 106 points this time.
-
Jack did what he was told and played further up the ground.
Positives; We didn't 'chuck' the ball all night like Carlton did and stuck to the traditionally accepted hand pass.
We didn't rely on players running out of bounds to kick goals ala Yarran, stuffed if I can understand how that boundary umpire standing there in front of him didn't see the kid he clipped on the way through. We had four debutants, two of which had never played AFL and who will only get better. We looked a bit nervous and that is something that can and will be remedied. The papers put the mozza on us and are congratulating themselves for stuffing us over as we feel sorry for ourselves, if we go feral, we feed them. Fact is we will come good this year but we are still a bit off the pace and have to build some confidence.

Agree 100%
Peeved we lost but that was the positive
Morris too was a positive - his attack on footy, the contest was fantastic. Need a few more to show sort of spirit & COURAGE

Agree on Morris, was superb last night in those aspects but his stats will not reflect that. Though he put in some efforts in that 3rd which got the momentum swinging our way and we kicked 5 straight.
Positives were Rance, Cotchin, Maric, Morris, Grigg and I think Foley could get a mention here also.
Post for mine worst on ground and I thought our backline in general had a night to forget.
-
Apparently that wasn't our game plan. Thank god for that.
-
Thought Grigg played a very good game. He is improving in my eyes.
-
It was only round 1...hardly panic stations.
I remember how daunting it seemed playing St Kilda in rd 2 last year...we all know how that turned out.
-

Yeh,it never is when we lose ::)
Im tiring of the coaching panel and their excuses.
Can someone explain to them that it's also their job to teach them how to implement the "game plan" and that it's their responsibility to be tactically active as coaches during the game.
Fair dinkum.

Good point. No excuses.
Maric is big, dumb but he tries his heart out. Maybe they could give Gus Marics heart and we might have a ruck man.
Ellis will be a good player, a nervous start but he looked likely

Vickery is a crap ruckman at this stage, he got clobbered by Kreuzer when he was in the ruck against him. I'm a bit dissapointed at this, given Vickery is 22 and should be starting to emerge as a ruckman if he is ever going to, but to be fair he has 2 more years to develop before we see his rucking peak.
-
I disagree. He was poor in the ruck the other night but he was having an absolute shocker. He is usually pretty handy in the ruck for a player at his stage of development.

Fair enough maybe I should rephrase that, he was a crap ruckman the other night. I hope he shows some better form throughout the rest of the season.
