I reckon we're sitting just where we need to be as we hit the final lap.
To me the most significant and telling thing I've seen thus far was our second half against the cats... we held that team to 3 points in a half of footy, with Roo in the stands.
We've had our sights set on them and redemption at the G in September since the final siren last year... it's going to be freaking epic.
Held them to 3 points in a half!... who else could/has even come close to that?
It would be interesting to see our tackle count for that half compared to other games this year, and our average for last year.
As MM points out above, if you cant just 'flick a switch' then what do most teams do when finals start every year?
I truly believe we're about to unleash of hell.
Please don't confuse me with someone who doesn't subscribe to the 'we are SO going to flick the switch' theory markp, I consider myself a pioneer on the matter and even started a thread on it a couple of weeks back...
