Positives Against Hawks
« 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.

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.
