The positives thread

[pulpdriver]

Black and Hanley returning next week.

Polks' form today. The kid can play, now just needs to find consistency.

Definitely. Might be the best game he's played for the club. Pity he'll probably miss next week.

We won.
That is all.!!!

Leunberger. How good is he??

He's alright.

The big fella was outstanding today.

Justin Clarke seriously impressed me tonight. Don't think I saw him get beaten once, with the only downside being when he was dragged down with the ball on one occasion. Outside of that, he committed himself to every contest, showed decent skills, and saved at least one otherwise certain goal. Very encouraging debut from a young KPD, and added value to my belief that he'll be a 10+ year player for us.

In the post match interview with him uploaded on the club site he looks absolutely stoked to have gotten an opportunity too. Rapt for him, and for the club to have him. Not only a talented footballer, but a quality individual.

Clarke, Docherty, Mayes and Paperone- the young guys continue to impress and this group of very young players making their way in the seniors is growing weekly it seems!

 

[Mavlions1961]

Here is a positive, we have won 2 from 3

They stuck to the game plan and ran and ran and ran.....looked like they may have run into nab cup form

A month into the season and Luenberger is just fantastic already. It is almost like he got better even when he was out injured most of last season. And give Longer a couple of seasons and that combination will be incredible.

Leuy looks like he is really enjoying his footy.Great to see

Life is better when you win!

A special positive for Polkinghorne, he stepped up today. Perhaps the week in the reserves helped him mentally but he looked like he really belonged today. For a much maligned player it was a pleasure to see.

In keeping with a brand new tradition (contradiction though that is), when the vent thread rears its ugly head, so too shall the positives thread.

Let me kick it off for this week:

Luenberger is a top notch ruckman and will get better and drag Longer up with him.

Paparone will kick plenty when our forward issues are sorted and he will do it all day for ten years.

Hanley just gets better. What a gun.

Moloney showed a fair bit of class to fight back after an ordinary first quarter. Great pickup.

Lester is a tough player who has plenty of improvement left and is going to make his mark.

I better stop and leave some for others!

Are we positive we'll get here...2016?

Lester - 27 touches, 17 contested, 6 tackles 1 goal.... Nice game from a 20 year old kid with (now) 24 games under his belt.

Looking forward to seeing him with another preseason and 16 or so games experience under his belt.

Two other teams lost by more than us.
Am I doing this right ?

Just about.

We're in the 8...OK the bottom 8.

And he can play all over the place! Was playing more through the midfield today (I think, it's hard to see on TV) and did really well. I really like Lester and even if he doesn't evolve into a superstar he should be an above average role player. Has done well this year with his opportunities at all levels.

I think you will always get an honest effort from Lester. Going to be good!

And only 16 more games to go

I was slow to warm to Lester, but towards the back end of the season and on today's effort, there is a lot to like and someone I get the feeling the coaches rate quite highly.

Another guy that IMO continues to improve is Yeo. I'll admit, like all of our young guys, he is prone to the odd error, but whenever he does so, he is taking the game on, which you can't fault.

Ressies beating the swans.

Two good games from Polkinghorne. Sure, not always great disposal but against the best pressure in the AFL he was involved in the game.

In these last two games he looks like he knows why he is out there and that he can make an impact. After waiting for this sort of contribution for such a long time, his work in the last two weeks has been a real positive.
