Effort! - Positive!!!

[Missing-Dog]

Well it often seems too easy to be disappointed or negative after some matches but...
on tonights performance, Ive gotta start up a positive thread!
Ok we lost but we seemingly gave it our all.
The effort was enormous.

I tell my kids that whatever they do and no matter the result, all i care is they try their best.

Congrats to the Bulldogs tonight I think we tried our best!
Keep it up and the wins will come!

A shameless, unabashed, indulgent, positive thread: I love it!

It comes down to the new coach for me. He has a steely resolve and a way with people. When I hear him talk, the things he says you can apply to many aspects of life. He certainly knows how to get the best out of his players.

Like what your saying Rance Fan. The effort was there tonight and we did not give up. Yes it's a loss but we are definitely not the worst team. We will be very competitive.

We just kept at them. I liked it for the most part.

I just think Collingwood were fresher and it showed down the stretch. I don't believe they're the same team they were, but they are still a good team and our side gutsed it out.
I hate honourable losses, but that's what the game was. Plenty of spirit shown, I hope we can carry it forward and build on it.

Leigh Matthews says we are bottom three. I don't believe this.

No he said we were bottom 3rd. Meaning in the bottom 6.
I believe this.

We likely around 9th -13th i hope.
Hope to be at least ahead of
Port, Tigers, Demons, GWS, GC, Lions
Come the end of the year.

Hope we beat Carlton again this year hehe

Fair enough.
I hope we become like the Swans. A team that nobody can ever rule out of the race.

Now..this is the positive thread, so 7th from the bottom I reckon!

Agree, he said bottom third .
Reckon that's where we'll end up

Another game where bits and pieces start falling into place , solid passages of play where Macca's game plan was very obvious and other passages of play where players went back to bad habits , once everything sorts itself out and we get some more consistency a lot of sides are going to struggle with our pressure and work rate at the contest

Ditto RF.
I constantly tell my kids straight.
"you might not be the quickest, you might not be the best kick or the most skillfull etc. etc. but by god you can be the hardest worker and that will make you the best" Thats why players like Picken & LD are my fav' they don't stop chasing, diving in, tackling.

Re: Effort! - Positive!!!

Isn't it funny? Last week I was gutted, despite a win. Today, I feel really encouraged, despite a loss.
