Good to see the usual sooks in fine form again after the latest Senior Game.
Something new for a change some light positives from the weekend.
Tom Hislop - Think under Jade he's showing that he's more than just a low end fringe player on the list. Love his attack on the ball and how he goes about it. The goal he kicked when Rivers fumbled was the luckiest gift you'll ever see but woudl not have happened if he was lazy and conceded Rivers possession. H echased for 20-30 metres when history woudl suggest no one would have bothered.
Shane Edwards - Showing that he can take a genuine pack mark over head against some big bodies. Think he took 2 nice marks similar to the mark he took last week in the dying seconds. He's been hung drawn and quartered for being too small. Good lesson is to not right off Under 21 year olds. Tambling, Morton are great examples now chuck in Edwards, as continuous development and time is all they need.
Vickory and Post - Same as last week both having a crack and having very nice cameos throughout the game. Raw as all hell but it's great to see them having a crack and having a decent opportunity to show there skills. Post is incredibly slick and quick hand to foot for his size. And Vickory remarkably can hold onto the ball as assess teh situation in heavy traffic. Good to see and looking forward to further development.
Jack King - Have to be one of the most maligned players in my time. Thought his job on Davey in the first half in particular was very good. Didn't have the pace to go with him and could do nothing about the handball receives but I'd be very surprised if Davey got 1 contested possession for the game.
Nathan Brown - Did at least the minimum for the game to push for a contract extension. Looked at the list extensively tonight and there looks to be room for Browny now more so that Pettifer has injured himself again and unlikely to be retained.
Jordy - When push comes to shove you get paid to win games for the club. He earnt his money today dealing with the most pressure kick you can ask for outside a September game. Has his knockers but wrapped he could bath in some success off his own shoe. If he missed who knows what people woudl have done. Wrapped for the Mexican.
And last but not least..
The Win - To truly hurt in any sport you have to taste some sort of success. When you hurt you create thirst. The thirst to win. That's what we're creating with breading a winning culture at the end of the season. Showing the boys how enjoyable and what creates after the game and during the week after you win, is what you want the side to aim for. Let them taste it to what it more.
You can't properly tempt a dog with a treat if he is unfamiliar with the smell and taste. So I'm all for letting the boys have a big ol' wiff and bite of winning and singing the song.
Go Tigers.

Positives .....
Browny may have slowed down as he's got older and since the leg but today he showed he's still got that class above.
Postie showed his versatility at both ends. Developing nicely for a 19 year old tall.
I thought Polo did some nice things in the first half when others were scrappy.
King did his job which was to wrestle and annoy Davey to the point Davey was physically too stuffed for the next play lol.
I gave Jordie a vote for that winning goal ;D

great thread :thumbsup
Watching all the players go nuts after the game was an awesome sight! Not a very good win? Tell that to them! We finally stole a win instead of gifting one!I hope this thread doesnt get over run by negative posts, but i fear it will!

It was good to see some passion out there :thumbsup
Whoever thought we'd see the headline "Mighty McMahon" ;D

I think I see Dean Bailey in there! :rollin
:lol :lol :lol

I honesly dont know what to say.
Jordon McMahon would have to be the worst football ever in the AFL to win a game of his own boot.
We wont mention the second quarter when he ran into the open goal on the run and missed :shh ( something that a Leon Davis would do blindfolded) from 20 metres out. mmmmmmmmm

Deledio looks like he wants out.

Thats pretty funny :lol :thumbsup

Positives
Tambling's kicking is now reliable. You all realise it was he who got the ball to McMahon in the first place.
Edwards has developed quickly in the past two months.
Polo is brave and will be a player.
Morton will likely kick 50 goals this year. Not bad.
Cotchin is no downhill skiier. Wins his own ball and dishes it out in heavy traffic.
Cousins is a stuff.
Deledio BOG again.
Post showed more good signs in the 1st half. Liked how Rawlings sent him down back in the 2nd half to learn more.
I could go on. Sometimes it's not about the overall result, and sometimes it's about the journey.
-
lots of positives in the game, heaps actually, even though the standard at times was comical , but ffs, the wind was very tricky out there yesterday and melbourne really were out to win, they coula afford to win one more game and this was it , they wanted to crush us.
anyway
kingy has found his place through the midfield, once collins is fit white can fo, he is poo
deledio is showing he can play inside and out and seems to be much happier under jade
cousins and his leadership, unbelieveable, he has embraced the club and players and is the godfather lol of the club
brown, must play on next yr, quality is hard to find these days
edwards keeps on improving and gaining confidence
polo just a rock and mr consistency
thursfield is back! thank god
jack is going great , one day he will hold those hangers
vickery and post , developing nicely
mitch, is our brown jr
nahas just has that x factor
hislop played his best game 4 us and u have to love his physical game
tambling is everywhere and has become our mr reliable
newman is playing much better under jade and his kicking inside 50 is a treat
jackson is a workhorse as is patto
we won even though the ups raped us again
jordy was a damn good player, dont know why his knockers keep bagging him, jade didnt so he must have followed his instructions
cotch brownlow medal next yr for him if he is fit!
but the most positive thing about the game, was the way the boys reacted when we won, havent sen that excitement and unity in the team for so effing long. cousins the way he spoke and congratulated all the players, his continual chats to lids, cotch etc his ecouragement and teammateship, noticed players now shephard after a handpass now, unlike b4, thats cos cousins showed them thats what u do, protect ur teammate
we played melb , so what, swnas are meant to be poo and should have beaten the saints
every game is a hard game and there to be won, and we effen won !!!
AS BEN COUSINS SAYS, WINNING ISNT EVERYTHING, IT IS THE ONLY THING!
-
Only positive for mine was Cuz, he shows up our list for what it is.

Correct, Cuz is a very good judge ;D

Snip snip!
Enough with the personal abuse! >:( :banghead
-

there is no doubt that the recruitment of Cuz has been a success! I hope we get another two years out him! Let him play along side Cotchin and Deledio and watch their improvement!
-
Cuz has been the big positive of the year for me so far. What he brings to the club is immeasurable in terms of leadership, example, outlook, mentoring, strategy and culture and that's before we start to talk about his onfield brilliance. I hope we keep him around for another couple of years as a player then as a development coach.
Edwards has really stepped up of late and has reclaimed the confidence in his own game and ability. Is exciting providing run off the half back with Blinger which allows Newman to move up to the wing to give us better inside 50 entry.
Polo is now a reliable small backman. Nahas is our answer to Davis, Davey and Milne all put together. Post will be an exciting lead up forward and Vickery a 200cm + midfielder.
A great deal of positives from the list but I left the ground with a hollow feeling watching the Melbourne supporters high five each other and excitedly share their relief that Jordy's kick went through. Just not right. >:(

There was some interesting footage shown "on the couch" last night.
On a split screen they showed the reactions of the players/coaching box after Jordies goal.
While the players celebrated like they had just won a final....There was zero emotion shown by the coaching staff.

They probably felt like I did, totally flat after watching that game and trying to work out is that the true capability of our list.
