Thread: Positives only

  1. #37
    For me, one of the greatest positives so far this year is the prospect of a courageous young man playing footy sometime within the next month or two, after four years of heartache. I reckon I'm more nervous for AJ than I am about our position on the ladder.

    That was amazing. I assume it was a pure fluke - am I wrong?

    That really was a cracking take - should get nominated for Mark of the Year IMO but it wont.

    I've said before and I'll say it again - I'll take a poor season if we see AJ back on the park playing footy again - that would make up for what is looking pretty grim in the broader context of the AFL ladder.

    Positives? We can't go any lower.

    Not sure where to put this post. The Dogs showed that (at least last season) grand finals can be won by anyone in the 8, so playing finals might not just be making up the numbers.
    But if we were to miss finals, would we rather finish 9th or 18th? (With the obvious positive of finishing last)

    It looked intentional on the replay.
    The way we've be going I wouldn't have been surprised if a Giants defender grabbed the ball out of his hand and ran it back for a goal

    Having senior players returning. In the next few weeks it is going to be better having Papley, Rohan, Tippet and Heeney than being forced to pick first year players.

    Michael Gleeson in the Age claims he's playing reserves this week. Seems too soon to be true but ....

    Daniel Menzel, the untapped Cat

    Yeah, I saw that too and thought 'what the'.......I thought the club said he might be 4 weeks away from Neafl.

    I didn't know we were such a strong team. Holding up the other 17 teams takes strength (maybe not a successful attempt at humour, but you have to laugh).
