    Three Things I've Learned - Round 14 Edition

    Once the Round 14 match against Carlton is completed, let us know the three things you learned after watching the match.

    Be constructive but be honest.

    1. Daniel can play, irrespective of height, weight or eye colour.
    2. Loving seeing talented players raise their level: Wood, Kobes, Grant etc.
    3. Winning is great, but watching the last two games weren't great.

    Re: Three Things I've Learned - Round 14 Edition

    1. Our biggest area of improvement needed is still our ball movement going forward. We just butcher so many opportunities that the better teams nail.
    2. A sign of maturity perhaps that when the game was in the balance we were the team that burst out and took the initiative.
    3. 2 poor weeks of footy, just looking like our young legs are getting tired? Going to be a crucial month ahead, hope we aren't siezing up just when a top 8 spot is within reach.

    1. If you can play, you can play. Height is nothing.
    2. The only thing holding back Jake Stringer is Jake Stringer.
    3. Footy isn't everything.

    1. Tom Boyd is critical to our forward setup
    2. Caleb Daniel will make Simon Dalrymple look like a genius
    3. We're already having trouble running out games and will struggle to win too many more if that doesn't change
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    1. 168cm is plenty tall enough.
    2. Redpath needs to be either a) in the goalsquare b) on the wing or c) in the VFL.
    3. Jake reads the newspaper.

    1. It's so satisfying to experience unsatisfying wins again for the first time in 5 years.
    2. Jake Stringer makes goals out of nothing more consistently than any other player in the competition.
    3. We drafted at least three AFL standard players last year.

    Scorbilo, out of Webb, Bailey, McLean and Daniel is not afl standard?
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    I think what Scorlibo is saying is that 3 have already proven themselves.

    1. Our class of 2014 are fantastic. We will look back at this draft in a very positive light
    2. Winning when you are not playing well is a sign of maturity. Our team is mature beyond its years
    3. Our defensive pressure really is our strength at the moment

    Yep, I'm already sold on Webb, McLean and Daniel. Not ready to make the call on Dale, though he has shown promise, and Cordy who is yet to play AFL.

    What a great draft.

    Especially if Hamilton makes it too

    1. Teams have worked out our game plan, but Bevo is already on to it.

    2. Learnt that dribble shots are not the way to kick the ball

    3. We need Tom Boyd to straighten us up
