The more I think about it, the better our position seems. If at the beginning of the year, we could have named our finishing spot, given that Geelong would be No 1, I'm sure we would have chosen No 4. Nothing to lose in the first week, and if worse comes to worst, can't meet Geelong again until the GF. (No injuries also would have been nice.)
And to think, it was all sown up with at least 1 minute to go in the H&A season!

I've posted this a few times already, but meeting the Cats like this in a final is the best kick start we could possibly ask for! They are the benchmark! This game will either prove what we are capable of, where our deficiencies lie and what we need to do as a team to make this dream become a reality! I’m excited about Sunday. Rain, hail or shine it might very well give us the ammunition required to take this season all the way!

I know we are an excited bunch right now but for this to happen, it would be nothing short of a miracle, especially with those arrogant Cats having virtually a full list to choose from. Still we can only hope.stinger wrote:i'd laugh if the cats went out in straight sets...with losses to us and the filth....

Re: The Purrfect Result for Us!
Agree that it's exciting to be able to measure ourselves against the comp leaders in a final, but if we were going to finish top 4 behind Geelong I'd have gone for 2nd or 3rd and an easier direct route to a prelim. I know there's no easy matches and especially not finals, but playing the Bullies or Hawks would be an easier road than the Cats.perfectionist wrote:The more I think about it, the better our position seems.

We've come close before in finals. This time our boys need to go for the jugular, take out all stops and hit the next 3 games like their lives depend on it!
Time to finally send off a St Kilda legend with the ultimate prize! It's there to take, time to turn it into reality!
