Positives

25 possessions is quiet???

For Judd, the manner and method of them was pretty poor.

Remember too that West Coast had many more possessions than us courtesy of the weather, so possession counts hardly indicate quality.

I'm guessing not given some of those positives...

The thread topic is finding positives from the game. These were mine. Naturally there were way more negatives, but I'll leave that to another thread.

2nd biggest was Goodes into the ruck. With Jolly (who can wear down a cox after a while), he should be considered a ruckman again. Said it before, his body strength in the middle was why we had such a good 2003.

As if Roos will keep him there, once Jolly, Ball and Doyle are available. Its the smart thing to do, therefore you can bet your last dollar, that Roosy won't do it.

Crouch is a disgrace. 6 weeks of cr@p. Must be dropped, or the whole selection processs is corrupt.

Said it on Thursday, the Swans senior team is a boys own club. At least 5 players shouldn't be in that side on form and one of them is Crouch, record or not the form is **** and therefore he needs a spell, the same goes with the captain, Bevan, LRT and Mathews when fit.

Is MOL finished ?

Nope, just needing a proper supply of the ball from the midfield which he isn't getting

Disappointing the way MOL is approaching it at the minute. I think he is tending to get under the ball and feign interference, hoping for the free. Judd was never going to be as effective in that sort of weather but still touched leather a lot.

I thought u said the weather was going to save us and keep the score line under three goals! Judd was good tonight not the best but what he did was qaulity and his work off the ball was amazing.

He's a class player who has the ability to contribute even if he isn't getting a heap of the ball - shepherds, blocks, tackles, he is an individual star, but willing to do the little things too.

Lol.

I actually said I thought we would keep the margin to about three goals. I must admit I didn't factor in that Goldsphincter was umpring, but even that aside I agree we didn't make the most of our opportunities whilst they did.

Hey I didn't predict correctly, but then who did?

Most people predicted a thumping and thats what we got.

[NMWBloods]

Schneiderman said there was "no way" we would get thumped!

Ironic that in a thread titled "Positives" so many of us can still find a need to be Negative

[Mike_B]

Another positive from tonight (not our game though) as has been mentioned in other threads. Hird did a hammy and is expected to miss 3 weeks (source: http://afl.com.au/default.asp?pg=new...ticleid=199684)

The thread would be empty if we needed to just have positives from our game...

[dread and might]

Positive is that it's over now
