Positives from last night's game?

[tigersalive]

Infamy , your a D/head
You know what I mean.
On 3AW today it was interesting as they liken us to Fitzroy now.
With the draft being compromised from here on, we are in trouble.
Why we have recruited small players as recent as the last draft is beyond belief.
Nason, good player, way too small,.
Have a rookie in Hicks who should be riding at the Valley today.
Its mistake after mistake at Punt Road,
Watched Craig Cameron at 3/4 time yesterday involved with postional changes on the whiteboard.
Who is running the place ??????
Went and watched Coburg for a half on saturday, went home at half time in disgust.
The prediction in the Herald Sun was for Coburg to finish last, I can see why.
Might further add we are going anywhere until we field a stand alone reserves team, but some bright spark has made  decision to cement the alignment with Coburg

Probably because they know the reaction they will get out of Chicken Little's like you more than anything.

Its not like we only recruited smalls, we got a few kpps too
I'd prefer we take the player we think is most likely to make it as an AFL player than just picking a tall just for the sake of drafting more talls

although you cant keep playing them all.
Saints play Milne and thats it.
We play several thus we end up with miss matches that kill us, as the opponents just brush as aside.
As was the case last night

What do you mean "cement" the alignment

I am intrigued 

[camboon]

Funny how the last 30 years and talk of small players are positives.

Cant wait to see the Negatives for last night game post.

Maybe a few of you dark clouds should buy a dictionary

My positives:

We never let the Dogs get a run on, it was a 72 point thumping, but it was gradual. It wasn't a first half blitz, like Melbourne in round 1 or the Kangas in round 2 in which the game was over at half-time. We were only 31 down at half-time and had we kicked a little straighter in the 2nd term it could have been under 3 goals.

The defence worked pretty well I thought. The Dogs had 71 inside 50's. They were inaccurate, but I recall them not getting too many 'easy' shots on goals. A lot were long bombs or shots from the boundary.

Our pressure made the Dogs' skill look ordinary at times in the first half. Media reports say that they were uncharacteristic errors by the Dogs, but it was the zone and pressure from us. The media just won't acknowledge that.

The players were having a real crack and didn't drop their heads.

We will beat Melbourne! 

[MADTIGER2010]

Thursty and Mcguane were very good
Martin and Cotchin were very good
Tambling and Edwards played better and with more confidence
Connors played pretty well again
Vickery was solid
Morton was pretty good but outsized again
Newman and Deledio were good
Nason and Moore were solid
Reiwoldt and Post will improve
King and Nahas will be replaced by Cousins and Roberts

the backline was fairly good  how anyone come up with that 

we got thumped by 70+ points thats not good  sounds like some are satisfied

[Siberian]

With Bowden Brown Johnson Couglan and the lord Richo we might have lost by 55
We are where we are and it was the right choice, lets back the boys

Good point Suffered....I feel the same way

[Siberian]

Well the last thing any of us wanted at the end of 09 was more of the same, and we knew what it would cost

Maybe because the Dogs had 71 inside 50s thanks to consistent turnovers from us going forward and if the backline didn't play so well in stopping the constant barrage the margin would have been more like 120 points, not 70 points.
