No Oppo Supporters The Positivity Thread

When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead - Barney Stinson​

There's too much negativity in the world today, so I thought we could do with a thread for all the little positives in our lives. Real positives. No passive aggressive positives (I'll be modding this thread hard).

Obviously it's Fremantle football themed, but if you happen to have an awesome vanilla slice, or something else great in your day, feel free to share it in here.

Peel thunder alignment and begin with the season with 2-0

I thought I'd start this with a couple of positives out of yesterday's game.

Having Fyfe back. It might take a few weeks to fully get his mojo back, but gee it was good to see him playing out there without being injured or not quite 100%.

Our youngsters stepping it up. Langdon's looking the goods. I might be biased, but he's got a good kick for goal, and a really good footy brain, and yesterday was the start of him really asserting his position in the team. Weller off the backline was a great sight to see. When he first started playing there I was worried he was going there to die, but he's really taken the position on. He's fast, he's tough, and really really ridiculously good looking.

No injuries

Weller's new haircut is sexy

If we can get more ball to my buddy, we are going to score more goals.

I liked the reaction when our captain was ruffed up!

Hilly of the Stephen variety has started the season really well.

1. Blakely did well in a position I thought he could never play well in;
2. B Hill won't be that bad next time;
3. S. Hill looked much better than anytime last year;
4. I thought our backline (although poor) wasn't as critically poor as last year - the movement overall felt better than last;
5. McCarthy was lively and will fit well into our forward line IMO and won't squander as many chances next time
6. Mundy was back to some of his better form
7. Darcy, Strnadica, Logue - when they are ready in two years time......

We will have it right by the finals and the well oiled dream team that we have become will steam roll the finals.

Yep can't forget Peel. What a win this week! Balic & Strnadica are going to be guns when they're ready for the seniors

 

[Clems Knee]

Round 1 2017 was better than Round 1 2016.

all of this +
Balic tearing it up
1 week closer to the debut of Harley Bennell

 

[Sir Deadly]

- The team got around Fyfe when he was being attacked.

- McCarthy kicked a cracking goal

- 1 week closer to the team clicking

Stephen Hill was pretty great. Could see some ripper performances from him this year. Really is amazing to watch when he's on.

 

[Caldera]

I thought Ibbo looked a lot better than he did last year.

 

[Taylor]

McCarthy is one of the most talented players on our list. After a season to get to speed he is one preseason away from dominating the half forward line as a roaming medium tall, then dropping deep to crumb

 

[StingBitten]

Brady Grey is going to be in our side permanently within the next month. We're all going to love him.

 

[Righteo]

Great idea

CMac actually kicked 2 lazer beams into the 50 as well.

Kid can play. Next week it'll be more like 5.1 instead of 1.5...

 

[Sweetback]

In the light of day, I think things like the turnovers in our defensive fifty and the poor misses on goal obfuscated what our true progress is. Our self belief deflates easily and it was interesting hearing Belly talk on the ABC before the game about how when he came back from North, a big difference was that North always thought they could win it, whereas we always thought we could lose it, even if we were ahead. I wonder how the mentality is passed along from one era to another. Anyway, the positive thing is that if we can stop the turnovers in our defensive half and give ourselves more space to be creative in the forward half, I think we'd have a better idea of how we're going overall, and I think it might not be so bad.

 

[Freomaniac]

McCarthy kicked 1.5 but he had plenty of the ball.

Freo will get more than 4 wins this season

 

[Okinakashi]

McCarthy kicked 1.5 but he had plenty of the ball.

In one half of footy - he took 2 quarters to get warmed up.

He'll be better next week.
