Title: Positives v Gold Coast
Post by: torch on March 16, 2014, 01:27:16 PM
Any positives from last night?

Nick Vlastuin off the half-back line.

Matthew McDonough.

Matthew Thomas, hard at it 100% of the time.

Continued improvement of Griffiths.
Hampsons tap work.
Cotch and Lids tried hard.....

There's not too many, but I thought Thomas and McDonough had good nights, both looked impressive, it will be interesting to see how these two develop over the next couple of years.

I think they will go a long way and be a big part of winning a few finals, maybe even a granny in the next 5 years.

Midfield did pretty well , 10 more i50, our front half was just too stuffen useless to get on the end of a few . Gc only kicked 12 goals or so, that would tell me our defense wasn't exactly monstred. At times Hampson tap work was text book, must have won 5 straight clearances from the CBD , again forwards to stuffen useless to capitalise .
Thomas was outstanding 29 touches 7 tackles , can play a bit and should improve on that once he gets some fitness under his belt  :shh

It's only round 1 .... Can be like the twilight zone of football rounds. Hawks were 0-1 last year.

Look at the madness that happened in Sydney yesterday.

Richmond played like a steaming pile of horse manure all night yet found itself in a winning position in the last quarter.

Got the feeling when this season is done and dusted - a narrow loss at metricon won't look that bad.

Sticky Vicky can only improve on his 0/10 performance yesterday.

Still lots of tweaking required with the best 22.

It was a positive that you waited until the game ended before calling for the coach to get sacked #ghostofgraemerichmond

Edwards was a positive? What game were you people watching?

Vlastuin & Thomas the main ones for me. Deledio putting in an all-too-rare four quarter performance - must almost be up to having to using both hands to count those on now.

Thought Astbury got better at reading the play as the game went on

Haven't been a fan but was pleasantly surprised last night

Thought Hampson tap work was good

Cotch - tried fought all night
Lids & Dusty - Cameo roles
Flossy - killed it early
Hampson - 2nd half tap work
Morris - frantic all night on one arm
Thomas - tackle machine

We weren't as bad as Collingwood or Sydney. McDonough was terrific. A real keeper. Griff was OK. Hampson gave us first use. Cotch will get the brownlow votes - he worked hard for every possession whereas Gazza Jnr got a lot of cheapies on the outside.

No , it's the thread for intelligent followers of football who actually have a clue.Clearly not for you. Now you run along to the 'sack Hardwick' thread like a good boy.

Kicked his mongrel husky five toes deep into the rib cage, that kept nipping everyone. Yeah. You nip the skin off my hand and I'll give you a size 11 lets see if you like them apples you yelping heap of s hit

Realised in a stupid haze that we are poot 1 hr later

Thought Vickery presented well and his pressure acts good.

Expect 5 from him in Melbourne conditions next game.
