Get on for 2010 keep your heads up

[jimbeam]

The ship has sailed its course for 08, the cards didnt fall our way.

But last night i found some real positives.

Maxwell in the 3rd was the best i have ever seen anyone play Buddy boy. Unbelievable effort from a bloke that will now learn to play 1 on 1 for the next 4 weeks. Well done Max.

Clarke was awesome coming our of defense, love his run and carry, his delivery is also fantastic.

Heater was great and can and must be used as a swing man, Micks got a gem and can use heater back or forward to try and turn a game.

Pendles stared and showed some real guts, stood up and played with some real class.

Thomo played well, presented and contributed throughout the game, missed a few easy rolls but that was the story for us last night.

The sack got running, provided some good rebound, is a major key to our future.

Swany could have done serious damage, was in good position early, failed to convert, damn shame, fix your boots mate.

JACK played an excellent game for a bloke in his position, clean hands, clear thinker, fantastic foot skills and kicks true. Great bloody game.

Harry you $£$%^%%$ legend, i love the way you go about your business, perfect defender. Good game.



NOW

Leon, stop looking at the ground, all neon, who is one of my favs done all night was look at his feet. You never ever put your head down, you play for the black and white. Keep your head up mate.

Obree was exposed early. Unfortunately his time has come, we cannot float around in limbo, Obs needs to step aside so we can test stanley and anything else we have for the extractors role.

Medders, mate, cheap kicks up the ground, not good enough.

Cloke tried all game, think he has had enough of the shit delivery. the ball fell short or went over his head 15 TIMES 15 TIMES this happened to Buddy only 3 TIMES.

Bryan, pull your head out. What has happened to you. ****

Locks, when the going gets tough, locks get going somewhere.

Lones, bad luck mate, same old same old. See you.

Tooves, your only a kid but Mick wanted you at the club, your micks problem, but mick must know something i dont, you didnt play well at all.



We need another 06 or 07 type draft, we are one year off a top up and 2 years to develop. I think 2010 is the year of the magpie.

The club needs to aim for this, prepare, draft in 2 mids to replace Burns and Obree this year with some running defenders who have some real speed and good deleivery.

Dont let any bastard get you down pie fans, we are a young side, most of our boys will be 22 next year, they will peak at 24. Hang in there, if the club plays its cards right we are in for good times. Iam on the 2010 bandwagon for a flag, there is still some room, left the more the better. Lets all make sure the club knows its got the remainder of this year and next year to prepare the dynasty of 2010.

GO PIES.

Great Post. It's weird but watching last night I saw the same things, we got pumped but I still feel that the boys put in a much better showing than they did against Essendon. As a supporter group we cannot accept mediocrity, but at the same time we have to be realistic. We have a reasonably young side but there is an upside. I'm sure when things went sour for Geelong in 06 their supporters were thinking similar things. I can still remember during the trade period when names like Bartel, Kelly etc were mentioned. It only takes one good season to change perceptions, hopefully our time is not too far away.

Buddy in the 3rd was gasping for air he was physically spent combined with Hawks mids dropping off the boil and Maxwell playing in front he led franklin to the ball , the franklin spent half the 3rd q on the bench rested up came back on fresh and proceeded to give Maxwell a bath.

That is not beating buddy winning 3 contests while the forward is gasping for air and kicks fortunately landed short instead over the top of Maxwell is more fortunate than beating him.

8.6 and 3 direct goal assists and you guys praise Maxwell saying he should now be given FB duties give me a f#$ken break and wake the f$%k up, I'm sick of the Maxwell defending he struggles to beat 3rd string forwards let alone the stars of the game.

Maxwell is not up to it time to move on!!

My brain uses AIML to format responses to your inputs, but I don't have one for that. Is RIGHT 40 TIMES being one out and scoring 8 goals is an unbeleiable effort also HAWKS went to buddy 40 that?

fair OP.

[Redlight]

Very nice bit of prediction.

The board seemed a little less negative in those days...

Who is Loki04?
I do remember that avatar. What happened to him?

Changed identies?
Nice Maxwell prediction

Not that anyone is perfect, i remember about the same time at least thinking, maybe not posting, that Jonno would never play in a premiership side.

It was when he was dropped or not included for the final we won at footy park.
Great Day !
