The Blues will not, I repeat, will not win the spoon this year. Some of you may have pencilled them in for it and might actually have convinced yourself of it being true, but they wont. Reason being their great NAB Cup form, over the last couple of years this competition has been a great indicator to the success of sides in the regular season.
Who can forget the Cats of 2006, won the Cup in Adelaide, flogged the first 2 teams they played and were practically being written up as GF certainties and missed the finals. Then there was the Blues side of 2005, who also won, beating a quality side like WCE in the NAB Cup GF only to fall flat and win the first of 2 consecutive spoons.
So heading into 07 season Blues fans once more have got their hopes up and will probably win the first round or 2 and their fans will get so excited they might even start sleeping at the G to make sure they are first in line for finals tickets, bit of a tip, the side needs to win 5 games more in one season than they have for the past 2 combined to be a chance. But rest assured they will not win the spoon, well they hope so anyway. 3 in a row might just send them right over the edge.
