I admit I've looked at the score a few hundred times and I now accept I wasn't dreaming !
I wish we could have got one more point , then we could have said what we did after belting GWS last year - if all our scoring shots had been behinds , we'd still have won !
OK , back down on Earth : I reckon we are where we expected to be before Round 1.
Not the way we did it , but by beating GWS and North,then probably pencilling in losses v Hawks and Cats .
If the Suns beat the Crows , they will be above us on points .
Geelong , remember , are same as us already , with 7 and 3 (a bit behind on percentage , though).
If the Moggies beat Carlton next week (very possible), if Hawks and Pies win their next two (they will) and if we slip up v Suns , we will be sixth.
Wouldn't look quite so good then , would it ?
Playing the Suns is not quite as important as the Freo game was (where we went to an ok 2-3 instead of a disastrous 1-4).
But it is still a very big game : if we are serious about Top Four , this is close to a must-win.
So - enjoy the long break , lads , but remember that Horse wants you to keep a lid on it .
You CAN go mad all you like - but not until 5:30 pm on the 27th September.
