I'm starting to get sick of the chronic negativity in here and slagging off of our team this year.
I'm not above criticising the team when required and to be quite honest I am not sure if I can ever forgive them for their gutless display last GF. But following a football team should be about the journey and it seems in here at the moment we are becoming like spoilt kids when we lose and somehow have the attitude that anything less than a flag is failure. I don't buy into that because I don't accept that we have only had two good seasons in the last 80 odd years and that the rest were a waste of time.
So, I'm going to list the positives I have taken out of 2015 so far and I'd appreciate of this could be a negative free post (fat chance perhaps).
Anyway, here goes
* Tom Mitchell establishing himself as a regular and his recent form
* The continued recovery of Gary Rohan - this kid has so much upside, he is a big unit, quick and a great leap and set of hands. Plus he can dob them from outside 50. I can see him being a great foil for Buddy very soon
* BJ's effort last night, I still think he can make it
* Nanka - he is still a work in progress but I like his work ethic and aggressive approach. At 20 he has only just started to develop as we all know big men take more time
* Issaac Heeney though I think the coaches have to teach him some art of self preservation as his bravery verges on crazy stuff
* Zak Jones' continued development
* The dignity and class that the club displayed re the Adam Goodes saga, that night against Adelaide will live me as long as I live
* Adam Goodes' form - I felt he would be a passenger this season but as he showed last night he is anything but and I hope he plays on
* Lewis Jetta's best season ever IMO, I just hope we can keep him
* Dane Rampe putting some brain farts earlier in the season behind him and even showing glimpses of being a midfielder, I love this story
* The fact that we can still be a shout at top four when we are disappointed with our form, surely this shows how far we have come and the standards at the club these days
Sure there are more so feel free to add some
