Thread: 3 reasons we will win the flag this year

  1. #1

    3 reasons we will win the flag this year

    1. We are good enough to finish 4th at the end of the H&A season.
    2. If #1 is true, then we would in all likelihood meet Geelong in a QF, perhaps lose narrowly, then win through to an away PF against the Hawks, or WB or the Kangaroos or whoever. At the MCG I'd back us to win that.
    3. We can beat Geelong playing at our best and I think our players would have a bit more to play for in a GF. Geelong are playing for a dynasty, half our team would know it was the last chance. You would expect Spida, Hall, O'Loughlin, Kirk, Barry etc to really, really turn up.

    Probably would have been easier to start a thread entitled "500 reasons why Geelong will win the flag this year".
    The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.

    I totally agree with this. I was talking to some Geelong supporters after the game who are not happy with the way their team play under pressure. They know last year's GF was a mismatch and thought Collingwood were going to beat them in the PF. We put them under pressure yesterday with a weakened team, so the key for us is getting our best 22 on the park.

    There is only one needed. "They're better than anyone else" End of thread

    Agreed. I think anyone (bar a couple of sides) at their best could beat Geelong. However Geelong at their best vs. Us at our best at the moment...no chance. Geelong are awesome, but not unbeatable. But if they are playing at their best at the moment they would beat us...and to be honest they play at their best a hell of a lot more than we do!
    Go you mighty BLOODBOYS!

    The good news is largely we should improve over the year from the likes of Mattner, Moore, Barlow, Jack maybe Bird and Grundy.

    The return of Everitt, Hall, Malceski and Kennelly, possibly Fosdike,may see us improve

    We have suffered injuries (despite the mythology) over the past four years, teams form fluctuates. We should be hopeful, but a premiership is unlikely

    On the other hand this year looks to be the end for Mathews, Crouch, Davis, Brabazon, maybe Thornton

    Laidlaw is another player very unlikely to make it
    You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby Ziegler

    You can add Davis to that list. Will be playing in the VFL next year.

    Apologies Sir Reg. Normally the little champ's name is up in lights.
