For most of the season I have been thinking that this years team isnt as good as 2005, and therefore a premiership will be hard.
But the last few games are turning me around. Kennedy is the midfield Goodes of 2005.
Pyke is the "LRT", the rough code convert who has our hearts in our mouths. But Pyke is a playing well, and plays an area of the game (forward and mid) where mistakes dont always cost goals (LRT was CHB).
Our forward line is not up to 2005, but closing the gap every day. It works bueatifully when all parts are assembled. No one is the dominant Barry Hall, but Reid, LRT, Goodes, McGlynn, Martin/Midfielder all work well together.
The only question, is can you win a flag without a dominant forward. West Coast proved you can in 2006, but you need a gun midfield (which we have), and you only win by a point. !!
