1) We're not overly concerned about how the season finishes as we'll retain the number one spot after the Cats coughed up Friday night (Which I suspected was going to be the case)
2) Teams have worked us out and are competing harder for the contested ball (Thus being seriously threatened!)
....well, all I can say is HOGWASH for number 2 scenario!
Why the hell are we busting our guts in the remainder of this season???? Is it Finals??? NUP....are we trying to retain a number 1 finish after watching the Cats go down on Friday night??? Seriously....what do you think?!!! Ridiculous to fathom the notion that our players have "NO IDEA" and would have to keep digging hard until seasons end!! What are they?? Uneducated dummies?????
We can all stand around, joining in on the media frenzy and start to rule ourselves out of Flag contention....but really....19 straight, we drop a bunch of key players in Round 20 and HOLY CRAP...that would send some sort of message to the rest of the group that we're a little relaxed about the final 3 results????:lol: .......the doubt sets in???

I went out today and watched the senior team for the club I play with play one of its finals....I recorded the Saints game, but not content with that I keep a close eye on the Saints V North Game on my stoooopid phone behind our scoring posts...I see we've gone down...and my care-factor is (unbelievably) .....well.....friggin' ZERO! No great reaction! (quite frankly!)
I turn to my kids and say we've lost. They've asked me "why did we lose against North Melbourne" and I said "why did we NEED to win?"....even a 10yr old didn't have an answer, because there is none! There is no POINT!
How can a team focused all season, for so long justify stretching themselves more than what they have been to secure a win that means so little????
Mark my words! Chalk it up now! I'll be talking to you all Grand Final time and discussing the line-ups! Out in straight sets in the Finals!!!
