Whatever happens in 2008, happens but if we "blow our chance" like all are saying out there, we'll come back next year and try again.
Great post One Eye!
the bit I'd like to pick out of it & comment on the bolded bit above.
Watching the Geelong game last week (granted that its a preseason game & we both had half our teams out, rar rar rar) it really drove home that this year, the only people that will defeat us is ... US.
When geelong started breaking away from us in the first quarter, they were capitalising on our mistakes, turnovers. When the saints steadied in the 2nd & realised 'hangon, we're not playing a team of supermen here, they're playing well but just making the most of what they get' we kicked on & looked awesome.
If the Saints don't capitilse on opposition turnovers or if we make simple skill errors we'll see games slip away that we should hammer home.
