Posiives
Beat Carlton

Beat Carlton
kids got finals experience
Our dysfunctional forward line cannot be ignored
IQ


Negatives
Have a dysfunctional forward line
Shit ending to season
Season in general

[think better]

a couple of positives

- Adams stamped himself as the next captain
- Elliot and Moore got through the season without major injuries
- IQ will be around for a long time
- Crisp is becoming an elite player

Negatives
- a lack of absolute mongrel when it counted
- De Goey not playing to potential - too inconsistent between his best and worst
- Grundy seemingly carrying an injury
- Stevenson going missing too often (maybe a hangover form the glandular fever)
- the forward set up which went from being dangerous with lots of options to pretty dysfunctional

[tbaker]

Added positives:
The improvement of John Noble
The exciting prospect of Will Kelly

Negatives:
If there's another hub next year, we're stuffed (50/50 chance at this stage, given that dictator Dan is clearly targeting covid elimination - ha! - and won't settle for a more realistic target)

[Haff]

There are a few positives
- Daics coming of age
- IQ
- Backline
- showed some ticker at times

Negatives
- Grundy for the next 7 years.
- Midfield looks done.
- I’ll discipline.
- 1 more year of the same coaching style.

Oh forgot to mention the most expensive art commission Bayswater has ever seen..

[Ronnie McKeowns boots]

Sier needs a Gary Ablett 2006 post season kick up the arse from his senior team mates; stop taking the piss and have a dip or piss right off!

[woodys_world69]

Darcy Moore all australian

Maynard pretty much all australian.

Negatives:

VIC aint out of Covid-19 rules yet, and very much might not be by start of season 2021....unfortunately another half season more of games away.

[Big Dan]

I reckon the biggest negative lies in this list of players (all played 50 or less games).

1) 2 x 27 Y/O with less than 50 games.
2) IMO, only 5 "keepers" in the <25 Y/O brigade (Daics, Noble, Sier, Quaynor, Kelly), and 2 depth maybe's (Ruscoe, Brown).

And the rest = absolute, rock bottom, zero trade value.

If guys like Murphy, Bianco, Rantall etc couldn't get a game this year then they never will.

This is the list which keeps Mayne, Greenwood, Phillips, Thomas, Brown in the best 22.

Some clubs list management hit gold, others hit coal - we've been hitting manure!
