After calming down over the weekend from Friday's nightmare I started to think about the rest of the season.
We are not in the position of previous years at them moment and the footy gods have done us no favours with injuries. But by no means is our season shot.
Losing Ball is going to be hard if not impossible to cover but never the less it is possible.
We are 1 win 2 losses at the moment with a truck load of keys players out. But if we can get through the next month with at least three wins which is very doable then we get to round 8 4 and 3.Better still if we can win the next four and Essendon looks a tough ask at the moment with key defenders out then we turn 5 and 2. By then all things going right we should have Tarrent and Reid ready for selection.On top of that Johnson and Didak should be back in the side already and maybe Brown. All of a sudden we meet Geelong with a decent side and we are sitting in the 8.We win we are 6 and 2 most likely in the top four but even if we lose we sit 5 & 3 with 3 very winnable game leading into the bye.
If we can get to the bye with only losing 1 or 2 more games we give ourselves a chance to make a run for the top 4.After the bye we have a tough run but who knows what happens from there. Other sides could cope the luck we have had so far.
Of course we would have to make a big turn around from the Carlton game. A lot of players would have to make a big improvement on what they have produced so far this year i.e Swan Thomas Dawes Jolly and so on but it can happen. You don't go from a great side last year to nothing over a preseason. Granted I am having faith that our players have some pride and pull the fingers out and guys coming back from injuries have no set backs.
We can sit back and be happy to bag the players club and coach and say our year is stuffed or we can have faith in a group that has given us a great deal of happiness over the past few years and get behind them.Each to their own but I know what I'm doing.
GO YOU BLACK & WHITE.
