Well, last year we climbed the mountain of beating the Roos, although it was in Adelaide. The major mental hurdle we need to get over this year is Melbourne at the MCG on 17th April. Although in the scheme of things it is only one game, a team that expects to win the flag cannot let a lower position team have an advantage over it at the ground where the finals are played. Kangaroos at Telstra Dome is an important game too. We have the talent and if 2 games are dropped in shocks, there is nothing to say we will miss the 8, or even a home final. But the mental effect of dropping those 2 could be incalculable.
I will go on notice here as saying that if we don't beat Melbourne, even if we finish top after the minor round we won't win the flag.
