Cris-ortunity

[The Royal Sampler]

Well, the Eagles' loss last night makes for an interesting scenario...

Win on Monday and we'll be equal on points with the ladder leaders after half a season, with the break to recover.

I think it will be one hell of a struggle against a resurgent Melbourne, with Presti and Clement out, but the rewards would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

If we win by alot and Gelong lose too we'll be first (not just equal). We can dream.

hopefully we get a good win. We need a percentage booster.

Not to put a damper but we have to score 190 pts and Melbourne 25 pts before we take over West Coast on percentage (given Adelaide beat cats)

I will be happy with anything above 4th (Esp 2nd)

The other interesting reason this is a cris-ortunity is that we have ben in this position before in 04/05. Heaps of injuries and blooding young players, but the difference is that for the first time in a long time more than 1 or 2 young players are actually showing they have what it takes to fill older and more experienced boots. The Melbourne game is an opportunity to see just how much depth there really is. Surely after the break things can only get better re injuries? But you are right RS, this is a massive oppurtunity to make the most of a mini crisis that has been weathered quite well so far. A win and a break here leaves us to lick wounds and make and mend game plans for the last 11 rounds.
