Round 18 Positives

[Nico]

Pretty fair effort I thought. All but 2 minutes beat us, plus the absolute sitters missed in the last Q.

Not a "True" supporter!!!

I find many of our games boring to watch from a spectacle point of view, and I have no doubt that the Bulldogs-Lions game was much better, but I watched the whole Swans game as I found it strangely compelling, despite the lack of scoring.

I thought our guys still put in 100% effort all that let us down was the goal accuracy.
Hope that turns around this week - the goal accuracy I mean - got to beat the Bombers.

To be fair the conditions had a significant impact on the quality of our game as well as the intensity. Perhaps the best game I've seen this year was Freo v Melb but it's entirely possible neither of those teams will make the finals. Same might be the case for Dogs v Brissie. But the highlights of that game suggested it was an excellent spectacle - Robbins' mark alone was remarkable.

My Positives:

- Goodes back to brownlow form. Probably his most dominant game since the 03 Qualifying Final against Port. 25 yrs old, Brownlow medal. The perfect time to give him the captaincy.

- LRT. Alot of credit goes to the man for his good work.Will be a great test on the in-form Scott Lucas this Saturday Night.

Kirk - Solid as ever, my 2nd tip for captain.

- The effort of the players. They didn't do what a typical Sydney team did in past times and just switch off after a big game. (ala the Hawks game in 03 after the big win at the GABBA).

I think one positive is that Vogels lined up on the wing on at least one occassion. A tall player on the wing is something that I think we have been missing for a while, I don't know if it is the position for Luke as he seems a born KPP, but it is good to see a marking option playing there.

Also at AAMI. I hope it carries across to the Dome this weekend.

Goodes is not even in the calcs for the medal, yet has around 5 BOG's for mine. 4 games to go, what the odds.

Now wouldn't that be entertaining. Does Andy D get the right of veto?

4 games to go. Get on.

[ugg]

What are the 5 games you have him as BOG?

Adelaide, Geelong, Melbourne and ? and ?

FWIW, I think Cousins and Pavlich are miles ahead of the rest.

[Ruck'n'Roll]

While Goodes was very exciting, and it was good to see Vogels and Moore doing ok. I thought Jason Ball had a splendid game.

I was pleased to see the whole team keep going to the absolute end, despite the forwards attempts to beak their hearts. Very pleasing.

[NMWBloods]

I think Goodes could pick up votes against:

Essendon
Port
Collingwood
Geelong
Melbourne
Adelaide

Not sure how many BOGs though - I'm guessing maybe 3 at most. Which means he probably needs another 2.
