    I thought one usually got someone else to do the flagellating? Just a minute, I think that's what's happening now!

      Glad none of the wooden spoons are red or white. Positives are mills is back, sam Reid looked good down back, heeney was quite but moved well, showing no effects from GF. But the most positive, we are on the bottom of the ladder and we are 41 dollars to win the flag. Showed a glimpse of what we are capable of in the first five minutes,but we had to ease off to get a good price. Now it starts! Let's put the theory to the test. Anyone game?

        I thought Cunningham tried really hard and secondly had a lot more venom in his tackling and intensity

          Positives - we had a tough fixture to start the season, but from here it is easier.

          Carlton away and Brisbane at home should both be winnable.
          North Melbourne away is next - the only other team without a win but they have lost multiple games by under a goal against strong opposition. This match could go either way.
          St Kilda away and Hawthorn at home are also winnable but these are not gimme games.
          These games are arranged in roughly ascending order of difficulty...

          After the season we should get a single-figure draft pick. We have only "earned" one of those twice this century.

          And the last thing to be positive about - we weren't stupid enough to gamble trading away a future first-round draft pick.

            I finally found a good use for my middle finger.

            I have now become very proficient using the scroll wheel on the mouse looking for where we sit on the ladder.

                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.

                          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.
