Green Shoot of the Week

Considered starting this last week, trying to extract a positive from a negative and using our coach's vernacular...Green Shoots. 

Choose ONE ONLY Green Shoot you observed from the game.  Can be a player, passage of play and individual effort, any ONE Shoot that put a smile ???? on your face.

I'll start off with 'The fearless willingness of Zac Fisher.' No a great game, but you can put on weight, bulk up, gain strength etc, but you can't teach courage. He's got determination and courage.

Worthy of a Green Shoot acknowledgement.

Great thread.

I thought samo was very good again today, tried some Hollywood footy but so clean and great skills. Those little shimmies out of the packs are sublime

Levi's second quarter.

His marking and goal kicking turned the game but not quite as much as his willingness to cause carnage.  The Swans defenders were looking over their shoulders and that really had a big influence on the result.  If Levi continues to attack the ball/man with the same intent, our forward line will be so much more competitive.

Tough to pick just one this week. But I'll go with Tom Williamson's composure, work rate and kicking. There's a lot to like about that lad.

Tom Williamson for me too, cool and composed, works hard both ways and rarely misses a target by foot

Williamson has improved each week. If he keeps it up he'll be judd mk2 by the end of the year.

Williamson is a bull. Magnificent kick who will become a big name. A massive upgrade on Tuohy.

Perhaps not as young or green, but I was expecting absolutely nothing from this pick-up and am pleased to have been proven wrong.

Have not seen the game yet but interested to hear BB stressing the importance of the Gibbs/Murphy contributions especially their leadership! Good to hear, let's hope they can keep it going.

What would Bolton know Cookie?  They are just parasites sucking the life out of the club  ::)

I guess supporters will always form opinions based on observations from afar and without the benefit of inside knowledge ... I do it all the time  :)

Yes mate, I guess we are all prisoners of our own perceptions.

Jump onto the AFL website Cookie and listen to Bolts's presser at around the 1:39 mark. When asked about the boys coming out hard in the 3rd qrt, he said he didnt need to make a point about it to the players, he said Bryce Gibbs did, Murph did, Doc did, Crippa did, Ed did. All the leaders took charge and he didnt have to say a thing.
