I admire your optimism Richter but I reckon we'll know in 4 weeks if top 4 is any hope. It is hard....do we push on knowing that even if we make the 8 ..that we are really no flag threat? OR is it better to push on regardless so any finals experience we get we gift to Steven/ Armo and co for coming years? OR do we simply say, lets re-load for 2012 and concentrate on being a real flag threat while securing best drafting position?Richter wrote:I hear that Teffers, but my theory is based on the premise of a double GF hangover.Teflon wrote: If we are just sneaking into the 8 then for me its a mini relaod year. If so, go flat out playing youth, turn them over find out who is/isnt a player and dont worry bout finals. I know GWS have all good picks....but we can still sure up our spot in the selection...still trade and ensure any senior player with a niggle is fit for pre season 2012. Hayes needs bionic man plates insterted also.......
With the eye of faith - we narrowly lost to the Cats who are looking good for top 4 again. Basically were 20 points worse than last year against the Bombers and Tigers.
Give it to half way through the year to warm up and come barnstorming home to be the first team to win the flag from outside the 8?
Blindly delusional... but hey... what the hell?
I am convinced our window aint shut - there is to much quality in this side to fall away in 5 games....its a matter of when we come again not if.
