Are the stars aligning?????????????
Are the stars aligning?????????????
Putting my rose tinted glasses on:
***shrinking injury list (Casey is going to be pretty full in a fortnight!!!)
***Roo fully fit and racking up BOG's again
***BJ and Gram finding good touch again
***quite a good run home in terms of who we play
***new resolve in the team post Dal/Milne dropping
***new blood showing promise (should be really emerging in 2009...). Armo and CJ providing good depth. Eddy, Allen and Geary in the mix...even Gwilt is looking fair....and Mini promising.
***King, M Gardiner showing good form...Dempster showing ok form
So are the stars aligning?????????????

I reckon maybe so. And you haven;t mentioned the vibe/confidence of the team changing. That is the X factor. Was there a quantum shift in the team's psyche in the last half of the match? Time will tell. My gut feel says there was.
Oh, and Dempster has been better than okay.

no need to worry about jupiter & mars more to do with smashing the ball in at all costs
1st qtr...airy fairy 20 yd chips down the line until we turned it over
last qtr...running past for the handball smashing the ball loooonnnng deep into forward 30 & most importantly having someone there to contest the footy not all purched across 1/2 back
aint bloody rocket science...keep some forwards in the forward 30 smash the ball in there & hey presto...kossi takes grabs,roo takes grabs,milne snags a couple of crumbs,montagna drags one out of his arze
5 twenty yrd chips eventually result in a turnover=low %
ball smashed in at all costs WITH FORWARDS IN ATTENDENCE gives ya a 50/50 chance..a mark,a free,a jag..the pressures back on them not us trying to find the perfect chip 5 times in a row
every chip gives em time to drop someone back ie 1st qtr

Something is different...we've won 2 games in a row!! WOW!!
I'm going to back the Stars "aligning" bit. How long will they stay aligned?? Will it cost us any more as members??

My headline was also meant to be a play on words..
Apart from luck I was thinking of the following stars all aligning....
Roo BJ Gram Sam Kosi Hayes Ball Milne Dal Max Gardiner.....all hitting form...
if they can all fire at once they will bring the others along with them.
We have been lacking amongst other things this year enough cream at the top.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

I am hesitant to say if the stars are aligning or not but the fight back after half time was a good sign. Playing like that and a win like that when nobody thaught we could except us can be a season turner.
IF we roll Carlton with the same play that was displayed after half time against North I will say that the stars are falling into alignment.
BANG BANG

They will not grow old, as those from more northern States grow old.
For them it will always be three-quarter-time, with the scores level
and the wind advantage in the final term.
