We're playing Port- what are our chances?
I'm just a little worried. We would want to play a lot better than last night. Port looked awesome today. I still think that we can win, but the following things worry me:-
Port has nine players who have played in a Grand Final, we have one (Mooney).
We got a couple of injuries, Port got none (other than Wilson).
We have lost Grand Finals recently, so are we jinxed, or is it our time?
Port beat us in Round 21, playing a similar game to how Collingwood played us last night. Could we take two games like that in a row ?
If the GF is close, Port win close games, whereas , aside from last night, Geelong generally have a poor record in close games.
We just won, meaning that we may get two tough, hard games in a row, whereas Port are coming off a training run, where they haven't been hit as hard. Which is better?
We have been consistent all year, whereas Port have momentum. I remember though, in 1992, we had played well all year, and lost the Grand Final to West Coast, who were on a good run at the time. I hope it doesn't happen again.
People, give me some hope. I haven't given up, but I am a little nervous. We played poorly last night. I just don't want a sense of deja vu. Please ease my mind, and help me to enjoy this week, rather than be stressed about our chances.
