Funny you should say that, I was sitting with a mate (saints fan) this evening watching the game and she said, maybe this is going to be like 2004 but one better.
I thought hey wouldn't that be something because that would mean we would beat Geelong in Rnd 4.... must say it made me smile!

We will have a more robust game style this year, we will be better prepared and we have a better balanced list (e.g. genuine ruckman who can control a midfield).
At times we will excite, at others we will win ugly, but we will progress. We will be harder to beat, we will look after our good players better and we won't go into big games with severely underdone players. We'll use the ball better under pressure, we'll work more when the other mob's got it and we will kick goals efficiently.
We are going to be very, very hard to beat.

Yes there are some good signs. But lets face it we have one a couple of glorified practice matches by a kick or two. Lets just see how the real stuff goes. Lets not get ahead of ourselves.

Actually, I'm getting in early and have started celebrating already
and this has got absolutely nothing to do with the pre season nonsense, started celebrating before the NAB started
&
we didn't even make the Grand Final in 2004 and finished third, so how that in any way compares to 2008 the year when we actually win the Grand Final in September, is mystifying to say the least
for that reason alone this is just a crapo thread
