Cautiously optimistic
Based on the pre-season injury/illness woes, together with the general feeling in the footy world that we were in for "more of the same", I entered season 2019 with some trepidation. I know it's VERY early days, but what I've seen thus far from the side has largely negated much of my fear. The two games so far have seen an important difference in attitude and heart from the side. The wins have been far from pretty, but give me, for one, much cause for optimism that perhaps we're not quite the "easy beats" that most pundits forecast we would be.

Re: Cautiously optimistic
I too am feeling a little more positive but know in my heart of hearts that a lot of the problems we've encountered are still there largely unresolved. Namely, (1) poor goal kicking; (2) poor footskills; (3) a tendency to revert to type when under pressure and kick long bombs to the forwards; (4) one paced midfield when Jack S isn't playing as a mid.
But - I'm loving the renewed vigour in the contest (tackling is much better); the whole-ground defence is back and pressing up against teams is working so far; the run and carry of Gresham and the return of 2015 version of Bruce who clunks contested grabs. As much as anything - I love how Billings can use his creativity off a wing and set play up.

Re: Cautiously optimistic
Fair comment Colleague. I guess I'm basing the feelings of optimism I've had so far, on the fact that in both games (GC & Essendon) there have been patches were the momentum has been wrested away from us, but the side have dug in deep and scrapped for the wins. I realise of course that our opponents in round one were hardly being touted as flag material, however, they brought a strong game and it was full credit to our lads that they hung in. Essendon, (even after that awful hammering by GWS) were tipped by everyone to smash us as they "made a statement" I felt apprehensive about the game myself. Man-for-man, the two sides were GALAXIES apart in experience and talent (on paper) the manner in which the Saints went about their work made a mockery of that. The changes in the coaching box also give me great reasons for hope. I'm NOT proclaiming that we're finals-bound....or even top 8........(YET!) What I am trying to articulate, is that there are solid signs, even after only two rounds that we now have something to build with.Saintmatt wrote: ↑Tue 02 Apr 2019 11:27am I too am feeling a little more positive but know in my heart of hearts that a lot of the problems we've encountered are still there largely unresolved.

The Suns beat Freo who were an 80 odd points winner the week before. Not the easybeats everyone makes them out to be.

Re: Cautiously optimistic
mn...Freo?
They will have a different team to the one that beat us last year over there in Round 8, 2018.
We, on the otherhand, will still have 75% of the team that went over there and walked into the rooms at halftime with 1.5 on the scoreboard, but then came out and kicked six in the third to close to 14 points behind.
We have the new X factor and with Parker and Wilkie etc., Hopefully, our tattooed Full-forward will kick straighter because we had many chances then.
You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Re: Cautiously optimistic
We played well against them last year in general play and it was only the accuracy and Fyfe knocking Carlisle out that cost us.
"...If there has been one recurring theme through this whole shocking mess, it has been the misguided, inflated egos and their ill-judged determination to cling to long-standing old boy friendships. The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."

Re: Cautiously optimistic
I'm (to quote the well-worn cliche') taking the season a game at a time. Fremantle will be a tough nut to crack over there on their own midden. However, as shanegrambeau correctly points out, we have an "X factor" in "Nosey" Parker as well as Jade Gresham finding another level of his exciting game. Add the contributions from Brown, Webster and Wilkie at the back, and there is absolutely NO reason why we should not give the Dockers a real hard contest. If I'm honest, this would loom as a game we could drop IF we don't carry the same attitude we showed against Essendon. We already have 50% of the total wins for last season. Nothing to get carried away about, BUT (IMHO) certainly grounds to be "Cautiously optimistic"

Re: Cautiously optimistic
beteasy has Freo at short price odds, we're over $3 again, like last week.
From what I understand of betting, it's not what the bookies think will happen,
but the odds are based on how much money is bet on the result.
Long odds for us means that a lot less people have put money on us, compared to Dockers.
So the bookies want to make money, they offer very short price on where most of the bets are.
[Edit: we've shortened a bit to $2.85, which means some more money has been wagered on us.
The line is 15.5 points, which is pretty close]

We made a lot of noise last year, it came over well on TV.

Re: Cautiously optimistic
With due respect, The Fireman, you may be neglecting one quality that was particularly evident in the final 20 mins of last Saturday’s game. Our players willed themselves over the line... they were a united front and weren’t going to relinquish their lead. You could sense it; that magical quality where the total output is greater than the sum of its parts.
Yes, the team has its inadequacies (as others have correctly outlined) but don’t underestimate the power of a united front. If, and it’s a big If, we can sustain that collective will, it will take us places that defy our noted deficits.
