Talent is there... only a matter of time and the premiership will come our way.
I agree with you and BM BB2005.
Like you say you cant go from winning the wizzer to boiled lollies.
..... Wizzer proves were a great side.. just abit of tweaking required.....
Mate, don't become bitter and twisted.... I worry about you
For those who think we showed such "talent" and "pomise" yesterday, have a look at the replay and ask yourself how the Tigers could score 16 goals with the crap team they were fielding and the insipid, fumbling play they were showing. Have a look at the chipping around, have a look when they were 3 against one in the 50 and still made a meal of it, or missing set-shots from 25 meter straight in front etc. etc....
I was happy with the way we played and the reduced number of mistakes, the increased defensive pressure, better kicking on goal etc. but you have to put it into perspective....
We have still the worst list in the AFL and need to build from the bottom up.
Why can't you just show some semblance of happiness that we won just for a few days? No doubt you'll say "well I'm only being realistic" and that may be true but why not just try to just enjoy it for a week mikkey?
Of course we aren't a perfect footballing side because we won one game. Nobody said that we were. Our problems haven't gone away, we have the same amount of talent that we had before yesterday's game etc etc. I think most people realise that yesterday was only one win. People are happy because we haven't had anything to cheer about for 3 months. So what exactly is there to be put into perspective mikkey? Who's claiming that this is a turning point for the footy club? Who said that we're a good side? People just enjoy it when their side wins games of footy, that's what it's all about!
You can choose to focus on the negatives or the positives. We allowed Richmond 16 goals but the question should be why Richmond allowed Carlton 22 goals shouldn't it mikkey? Our defence has never been our strong point and yesterday remember Thornton who is our best defender wasn't playing. Why didn't you praise us for kicking 100+ points for the third week in a row? Sure we leak like a sieve but when you score 22 goals does it really matter? They missed a few easy goals. Like that's never happened before to us?
So we didn't show "talent" or "promise" yesterday? Gee I thought younger blokes like Simpson, Carrazzo, Waite, Fisher showed "talent" and "promise" and have been doing it not just in yesterday's win but in the many losses that preceded it mikkey...what about you?
As for Synbad well he has the most amazing interpretation skills, he really seems to encapsulate the exact point that other posters make in so few words...extraordinary!
