        Really? Most of the first couple of pages look like positives.

          I wasnt overly dissapointed with the effort on Saturday night. Scoreline was probably where expected but a couple of things influenced this :

          1. Geelong absolutely kill you on the turnover for mistakes. they are a very good team who are probably only beatable if you are at 100% and they are not.
          2. It seems that the men in yellow were sent out in the first quarter to ensure that we didnt get into the hunt. If they hadnt so overly influenced the game at that time , Geelong may not have played with such confidence after that.
          3. we still arent totally fluent with the play on game but we are getting better at it.
          4. Bird showed some glimpes of real brilliance , that jinking run to send into the forward fifty was brilliant. he is the future of our midfield.
          5. The usual suspects mentioned in previous posts on this subject were all good (crouch, bevan, hall , bolton etc) . I also agree that everitt is getting better .

          All in all, IMO if we play like that against Collingwood we will beat them but the worry is we fall back into bad habits against them.

            The way to beat Geelong, is man on man footy 100% of the time. Dont allow them to have a loose man to accept a handball to defuse trouble.

            We didnt do that by any stretch of the imagination.

            On the positive note, Hall was sensational.

              But like Roos, I was hoping for 100% effort from all of the team, not just most.

                Sorry Liz I haven't been giving my all!
                1. Fosdike being back
                2. Bird continued growth in confidence - reminds me of Willo
                3. Bazza playing good night football
                4. Goodes not being too hobbled - did some nice things and kicked a couple of goodies from tight angles (which I love)
                I feel quite positive about the Hall/Goodes set up in the F50. It's going to take a little time for them to click but this has lots of potential to be very damaging.
                5. Kennelly played with a lot more confidence
                6. Crouch straightens us up nicely - is an excellent example to Kennelly and Mattner
                7. LRT wasn't too dusty
                8. Ted continues to contribute each week
                9. Amon's return was not to shabby
                10. Kirky is a champion
                11. Jude is playing his best footy and looks really confident and sure of himself

                  Oh!

                  - Hall's form
                  - Buchanan's run
                  - Bird's progress
                  - Bevan's defence
                  - J Bolton's solid performance

                    I just thought of another ....

                    Micky O should be back soon.
                    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
                    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                      I would love to see Roos throw Bird into the midfield.He said he is going with youth but as well as bringing in others he could give Bird a new role.

                        Last time, goals at 3q time = 2. This time = 6. That's a 300% improvement!

                          The only positive from tonight is that Brisbane lost.

                            Funny how the only positive doesn't directly involve the Swans...
                            I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!! :adore

                                Jude Bolton and Heath Grundy were positives from tonight IMO.
                                Does God believe in Atheists?
