What - the glass is half full??!

[Grantysghost]

Ok - we lost.

Well we got pummelled by the most hateable bunch of pompous,supercilious nerf herders in the galaxy!

However, so what yeah,...right...,woofers...,am I right? I'm right.

So grab Caesar's leash, put on your favourite podcast (Danny Boyd) and let's take a walk down positivity street.

I'll start.

Bevo's new teeth and old man glasses. He really gave of the look of a wise elderly gent sitting down at the local mall watching the world go by whilst doing the crossword.

Big Chili - He faced the two toughest ruckman in the game AT THE SAME TIME and held his own, me likey what I see-ey.

Eduardo Richardo - Boy oh boy Ed was amazing. He broke records, he was everywhere and he has guns bigger than Arnie. Get some money on him for the B&F.

The breakup - We all took Adz's side in the breakup and man did we back the right horse. I've always backed this guy and boy oh boy did he deliver. His best game for the club I believe, and he can only get better with more midfield time. Josh who?

There's more but I'll save them for others !

My fellow WOOFERS, what did you find you could grab from the fire this week to give you some positivity for the rest of the season?

Leaving the inability of the midfield to generate a repeat stoppage to the side for a second, the mitigation measures we did bring in (Lobb as a supporting ruck, Jones as a key defender) weren’t really allowed to be tested due to injury. I think that goes at least a little bit toward beating the “we’ve learned nothing and we’re stupid idiots who suck” allegations.

Yes agree I think the hope is still there with those two.

We all saw Lobb last year and he was nowhere near that for a good reason!

Bevo's remarks in the members Video indicated he wasn't happy with players not following instructions on defense. We trained all summer for a new defensive system and it broke down. The Positive is - the coach and the boys will be going through this again during the week and seeing where we broke down and what we should be doing. The boys will come out firing this week as they are also hurting badly. Let's get behind them and destroy the Saints.

My fellow WOOFERS, what did you find you could grab from the fire this week to give you some positivity for the rest of the season?

I feel much better because of your positivity. We only lost by 50 points. The gods were on our side during the second half when Melbourne could only manage behinds despite having 3x our shots at goal. Yep, it was fine.

Thanks for the lift.

Now all I have to deal with is the fact that for the time on period of the second quarter we could have done just as well if we put 21 players on the bench. And our second half would have been better because they would have been more rested. The margin would have been only 49 points.

Sorry, it reinforces that we learn nothing. After playing an injured Weightman and then Bruce last year we start off the new, shiny fresh season playing Lobb knowing he had an injury. Then the club says we can ignore the fact that he was useless because we picked an unfit player.

You should be outraged.

Positive vibes in this thread Danj!

Give me something you liked.

Lobb effectively got injured the week before R1 and we rolled the dice with his selection before realising it need some surgery. Poorly diagnosed no doubt but prior to that he had been in full training mode for weeks without issue.

My god can he roost a football. He's going to kick some goals from 60mtrs out at Marvel.

I get you mostly comment after losses so we probably have different goals from interacting with WOOF, but there are no shortage of threads lamenting the result you can participate in. There's no need to comment on the two posts in a 'glass half full' thread if you're that opposed to it.

Not necessarily poorly diagnosed. The responsibility also lies with the player. They may feel they are right to go, but when they get out there for a full game - it plays up. He played out the North game didn't he?

I walked out with him (behind him) from the sponsors event and he is a monster!

Love that he was driving a hilux too so wa stereo typed.

I reckon he is going to murder a few footsies at marvel.

Positive is it's been cleaned out and he should be good to go for the majority of the season.

Yep better now than later when we might really need him.
