The Good News Thread

[Mofra]

"Morale is a force multiplier" - from the Duntroon 1973 leadership manual, 9 principles of leadership.

Ok, so we're having a bit of a shit run at the moment, so to ward off all the doom and gloom, I propose that only good news be posted here. Hopefully, when people are feeling down about the club, they can read something here that provides a little bit of hope.

So, to start, the Gold Coast Suns will pillage the draft, completely rendering the talent of offer to the remaining clubs much worse than in a normal year.

Except for us

We know about Libba & Mitch, but did everyone know that Mitch, in his first three games in the u18 champs, averaged a whopping 140 Supercoach points?
Ave 28 disposals at 83% efficiency. Elite!

[Throughandthrough]

We will have 22 players run out for the finals game! So will the other teams!

[Throughandthrough]

We didn't sign Fevola

[jazzadogs]

We have Barry now, so there won't be innuendo about us signing Quinten Lynch in the off season.

[LostDoggy]

Our colours aren't poos and wees.

[bornadog]

We have introduced some exciting kids into the team, with Roughead, Jones, Grant, Wood to name a few. Can't wait to see how they further develop in years to come.

[LostDoggy]

None of our players look like an alpaca.

[Sockeye Salmon]

We traded Jordan McMahon for Callan Ward.

[Murphy'sLore]

Expectations for this year are now zero. Maybe the weight of expectation which we groaned under at the beginning of this season will be diminished for next year too.

Under the radar -- the only place to fly!

[Dancin' Douggy]

We traded Jordan McMahon for Callan Ward.

That really makes me feel warm and toasty.

[LostDoggy]

We're not Richmond.

I love the red, white and blue.

For the first time ever, or as long as i've been a passionate supporter, we will go into this next decade with a REAL spine, - Lake [FB], Williams [CHB], Jones [CHF], Grant [FF], with the likes of Cordy & Roughead giving a chop out.

[ReLoad]

The next 3 years we will NOT be talking about a need for tall players, nor will we be kidnapping anyone who walks down Barkley street that is over 6 foot.

The clayton legacy is that he has left us with a few good ones who look like we will put 50 games in to see how they turn out.

We have also heavily blooded younger players this year, a LOT more than i thought we would.

We certainly will not be bottoming out in years to come like other top teams have done in the past, struggle perhaps but not totally bottom out.

i still firmly think we can with an ounce of luck still make a prelim this year.

None of our players look like an alpaca, apart from Bob Murphy.
