With talk of us still able to make the finals I pose you all this question....
Is just scraping into the finals and putting in efforts like friday night or that against the dons in our first final....worth making the finals?
Absolutely....
I would rather make the finals and get bundled out in the first week, than not make the finals at all.
It's all about experience and being there at the pointy end.
No doubt as far as I am concerned.
Besides - see the Melb and Geelong games earlier in the year. We were at $5 in both games and as we know, our guys perform so much better when they are not expected to win... in fact when they are expected to cop a belting. So an away final would not be so bad. They lose, then - well, meh - who expected them to win anyway?? They win.... and suddenly they've won a final and the season in still alive.
So yeah - I would much rather be there and lose, than not be there at all.
That said - I think we have a
very tough road to get there.... probably the hardest of the 6 teams vying for those last 3 spots in the 8. So I'm hopeful, but not expecting any miracles.
